Key question for new owner

Hello-I just purchased a new 2019 M550 and I could use some help on the spare keys. We received one spare key and one display key. Does anyone know if this is correct or where we can confirm what comes with the car? I thought we should 1 display key and 2 spare keys. I've been looking over the BMW site and on the internet for an answer.

PS sorry if I am posting this in the wrong spot--as I am also new to the forums.

Believe for MY2019 it is one display key, one standard remote key and one emergency key. Supposedly some 2018's did come with two remote keys.

That is correct. Bmw made a change of late so you only get 1 display key(if that was ordered) and 1 spare.

Previously (not sure of the date it changes) you would get 2 standard keys plus a display key if you ordered it.

BMW is getting cheap lately and it is starting to really become obvious and pisses me off. It's bad enough their option pricing is crazy (for example lexus charges 75 dollars for wireless charging. BMW charges 500.) But now they recently gutted their maintenance program & are cutting back on even the number of keys given. Jeeze. I need to grab the mouthwash.

At least you get 3 years of maintenance. Try Audi that offers none or Mercedes Benz that offers maintenance plans at additional cost at time of purchase.

What pisses me off is that the 3 year maintenance plan is no longer transferable to a second owner...

Not sure what a display key is. I got two regular remote key fobs with mine, if that helps.

The display is an optional key the size of a small old time cell phone that allows you to access different functions of the car (Similar to the BMW Connected phone app) and if so equipped you can remote control the vehicle to get it in and out of right parking spaces.
