bmw M8 has no display key?
Hey, I have a bmw M8 coupe and it didn't come with a display key or the "credit card" key card. My friend has an 850 convertible and has both. Am I missing something here? Besides the key?

Mine came with the NFC key (here in the States)--I threw it away because its implementation is silly. As far as I know, no US bimmer comes with the display key yet, I could be wrong on that, though, since it's not something I pay attention to. |

Seems like the 850's came with the Display Keys but not the M8 models but all should have come with the (near worthless) Digital Key...

My 2019 M850i came with the display key. It also came with the NFC credit Card key. The car lacks the remote parking control that my 7 series had. No use for the display key. The app provides more complete information

From what I've seen, the cellphone is smaller, too.

2019: display key + digital key
2020: digital key Check your glove box or owners manual if the card is in there. If not, have your dealer order you one. They're roughly $50. |

LOL moment of the day and why I had no interest in one. In fact when my SA handed me two real key fobs when I picked up the M850i I inadvertently stated out loud "thank God". Of course that prompted an inquiry from my SA in which I explained after reading all about the Display Keys provided with the 2019's I didn't want one as they are too big for a pants pocket with anything else in it.
For 20+ years after initially traveling the globe for my job with various locales warning about pick pockets. I switched to a combo small wallet with cards on one side and a money clip on the other which lives in my left pocket with the key fob below it. The right pocket is for my Pixel 3 XL which is a large phone and anything I replace it with will be so as well. Hence, there was no way I wanted a 2nd cell phone (aka Display Key) for the left pocket and screwing up my system. Plus, I can do everything the display key does with the Connected Drive app on my Pixel. |
