    My bad - it's the non folding alternative that's in stock.

    I have one. But it's my last one. I don't know if I can part with it.

    Wait, I am confused.
    I thought the F50 came with a guitar style key?
    My old 328 came with a factory folding key; I ended up using the oem f50 guitar key instead as I liked it’s design better (and 20 years ago they were far more readily available; this, of course, being different than the TR style)
    By that logic, the 328 folding key should work in an F50?

    F50 doesn’t have folding key. That was F40. Guitar type is correct for F50

    Hmmm…
    Seen multiple F50 videos showing a folding key. Maybe the F40 key works on an F50?

    The folding key blanks I have are for my F40. But the correct key for the F50 is the guitar key. That said, I bought blanks of the guitar key too and so have a set of each style for the F40.

    I used one of the folding blanks for my 512bbi. That had a plain metal key and the folding key is much better. But that only leaves me with one blank of both the guitar key and the folding key.

    The 355 uses the guitar style too but the blade is different. The F40 and F50 (and 308, 512bbi, testarossa, etc) have the same blade.

    The F50 uses the same single blade as the 328 folding key as alluded to above. That would be the cheapest and easiest option for an OEM folding key

    Nieman Key and folding key will work on an F50 but it was the Guitar Key that came with the vehicle uness it was a prototype then i’m not sure. You may wish to ask the guys at DK Engineering.

    Came with both. The 512M also came with both.

    Eurospares is showing the folding key also.

    Re: the 328 key - the tip may be different, kinda looks like it in pics.
