BMW: BM W ◆ My BMW M3 (2021)

The history of Michelin Man ... and the key to the BMW M3 is Michelin Man

Posted: Posted:

To have one M3 key myself

Regarding the cars in my house that are positioned as "this is basically my husband's car" (M3, Huracan EVO, Fairlady Z), every time I use that car, I borrow my husband's key I'm riding.

In other words, only one of the two keys that actually come with each car is used, so one key is always new.

Since I don't use my husband's car so often, it's a hassle to prepare two keys ... I used only one key for lazy reasons.

But this timeBMW M3 who came to my houseAs for, I also like it and use it (are you stealing it?) Frequently, so from this morning I decided to use another key for myself.

In other words, I will continue to take it away (laughs).

Michelin man key chain

I wanted to start using a new key, but I suddenly thought of it, so I don't have a key case or a key ring.

At first I thought it was okay, but I was a little lonely, so when I searched for the key chains of the car at home, I suddenly searched for "Is there something wrong with the key chain?" ,was.

A Michelin man key chain that I received at some event before.

It's better than nothing for the time being! I thought I'd put it on, but ... I'm a little scared (laughs).

Well, is it okay ~ ^^

By the way, it would have been perfect if the M3 tires were Michelin, but the tires are Pirelli ~ ^^

Ah, the wheels are getting dirty a lot.

What is Michelin Man?

Michelin Man, a kid who saw me trying to install this keychain this morning asked me, "Is that person a tire?"

So I answered, "Oh yeah, I'm a person made of tires", but after that, I was wondering, "That's really true, but why is it white?", So I checked the Michelin site. I tried to.

There is a description about the birth of Michelin Man, his birth was in April 1898, after all he was made of tires. 123 years old!

It is said that the reason why he is white is that each tire was wrapped in white cloth or paper because the tires were high-class at the time he was made. I see.

It seems that there was a change in the design, and below is the change in the design ↓. Certainly it may be a little scary at first ^ ^

The Michelin man I received this time is the same as the one on the far right, that is, the latest design Michelin man. You're a little thin, right?

There are other detailed birth stories and explanations about the nicknames Bibandam and Bib, so if you are interested, please visit this Michelin site: (Official) What is Michelin Man by Michelin? site

Now that I know the origin of Michelin Man, I've become more familiar with it, so I'd like to keep Michelin Man on my M3 key for a while.

Key ring waiting for Porsche

Oh yeah, I haven't forgotten that there is another key chain.

If I use it, it seems that (the key ring) will be damaged, so I can not use it easily ... but if one day another Porsche will come to my house, I will use it at that time and I will cherish it. ..

It's like a wish to meet a new Porsche. May the turn come someday ^^
