Where do you place your keys? and Why? [Picture]

Coming from an E90, i was a little off guard when there was no key slot.

So, where do you place your keys? I do the Cuppy and the Good boy, because easy access. I hate bulky things on my pocket.

What about you? and why?

Pocket. It's not that bulky. I put my phone on top of the cupholder cover though. Or if my wife is in the car and using the cupholder, i put it in the door card pocket.

Pocket... that what keyless start for. Even better if you have comfort access, you don't have to touch your keys

Another vote for the pocket. I only have my fob and one key on the key ring, so it's not too bulky.

I don't like leaving the keys anywhere because it greatly increases my chances of me leaving them in the car when I get out. The one think I like about Comfort Access above all is the fact I can leave the fob in my pocket and forget about it.

Center console next to phone there is an area where the USB port is that acts like a second tray. Or cup holder.

Pocket. I have exactly one key on my fob, for my house. I don't know what all the rest of that crap is that you haul around, but it could be setting you up for this:

I am a cuppy. I don't like the feeling of having anything in my pocket.

Pocket. No keys at all. House is keypad. Work is id rf scan. I honestly don’t know where my house keys are. I should probably change the batteries in the keypads soon. It’s been six years.

In my pocket. My phone is in a case on my belt. I don’t like to worry about them. Put it in my pocket when I go out. It stays there until I get home.
