Integrated key smells bad?
I have always wondered why the integrated key always smells bad and has some sort of yellow grease on it, does anyone else notice this or is it just me?

For the longest time I thought it was chaw from the previous owner since the interior REEKED of tobacco when I first got it. Interesting.

My 08 E90 and 11 E90 had a waxy yellow grease on it too. My 2012 335is FOB does not have any of the grease nor smells bad, it is squeaky clean. weird....

prolly cause the metal key is enclosed and prone to rust?
