What comes with a new car (keys books tools etc), LCI?
Curious what all comes with a car new as I've seen different things about what BMW provides over the years (display keys etc). Getting a car used comes with some variance based on what seller has.
Apologies in advance for a possibly dumb question as the last BMW I bought is an e39 and imagine things may have changed quite a bit So for those of you that bought new: How many keys and types of keys did you get? Is there still a paper car guide folder and such in the glovebox? Does the trunk still have basic tools, or is that option based(RFT vs spare)? Other random accessories? |

It will vary by model year, but the car should come with two keys irrespective of new or used.
Display key was an optional accessory for the M550i. It isn’t amazing. It was aimed at remote parking which is no longer offered on the LCI nor is the Display Key. My car came with a printed manual, but it wasn’t anything special. The manual on the phone is much more useful. |

Yeh I display key with my 2023 but that’s no loss
There is also a credit card style digital I’d that you can use to unlock the car. My dealer advised against it for security reasons but didn’t elaborate on that There is a manual aswell Car comes with a first aid kit Locking wheel nut aswell , don’t recall there being any tools |

Are there tow hooks? My manual says there should be one in the trunk, driver's side in the cubby, but that's just a hole in mine.
I can understand no jack or tools, but a tow hook seems pretty basic to be missing. |

Looked again towhook is there Got the paper manual. Agree the digital version is available and handy 2 regular keys and that's it. Digital key available and have seen first aid kits but only on some orders as an option Likely going to swap away from RFT to non, and grab a can of tire goop to stash in the trunk with a compressor. AAA as backup Last edited by mobilegun; 02-02-2024 at 01:34 PM.. |

Ah interesting
Does anyone here actually use it over the 2 normal keys? Certainly removes the concern about being near the car band the relay attack stuff I wonder why my dealer advised against it? I’m wondering ie whether I should enable it and see what it’s like |

US car..2023 MY M550i
Dealer I used was great as they added in the following dealer options: OEM trunk tool kit…has many different tools and sockets in it. OEM first aid kit….in black leather case. Oil filter cap wrench at my request. OEM locking wheel nuts. The factory did have a very small socket fitting in a small pouch. Two key fobs Towhook |
