I heard somewhere that you can take your key, metal part facing you, and touch it under your chin and it will double the range. Sounds stupid, but that's what someone wrote.

yes, the chin thing works. It's not just Z4s, it's all bimmers. Least the newer ones. It's sorta embarassing, but it's also embarassing holding out the key and having to keep pressing it until you're about 5 feet away before your car does anything. So, might as well do the chin thing cuz it's quick and effective.

codex, off topic, but did you try that crystal guard yet ?

yeah I did. Other than the paint being smoother to the touch, I really don't notice any difference. I'm not sure if it's shinier or not. My g/f, more anal than me, isn't sure I did anything to my car other tahn rub it w/ a microfiber towel for half an hour. I don't think wax is under any threat from this product. It does feel slicker though, but like I said, not more than wax. Maybe it's cuz I have silver which doesn't reflect like black paint does. Dunno.
