My new 2- month old 550xi has developed surface rust on the keyhole! I have the convience package so I never use the key but this stinks for a high end car! Anyone with similar problems?

Are you sure it's rust and not just discolouration? I'd try removing it with a cloth dampened in isopropyl alcohol or similar and if it doesn't come off, I'd go back to the dealer and ask for a replacement.

I'll have to take a photo. Rust color discoloration sure seems like rust in my book. Take a look and see if you guys have any in the hole.

I had this since it is weeks old and never used the key to open the door
