hey all. is the display key standard on on the 5 series now?

i was looking through the 2021 m550 ordering guide and do not see it listed either under standard or optional equipment.

thanks!

Think this option is gone for MY21. I have it on 2018 and while it is borderline useless it is still a cool tech piece to show off to friends.

In 3 years of driving the car I never had the need to pull it from a tight parking spot "remotely" using the fob and the doors closed notification is also on the BMW app.

It is no longer available in the US. I had it on my 2017 because I thought it was cool. I used it twice in the 3 years I had the car. It looks cool but doesn't fit well in your pocket. And ... with the advancements in mobile technology, your phone can do almost everything the key did!

can you still get it fitted if you really wanted it though? or did they completely remove it?
