Why would it? The press release says those models that are produced after July 2020.

So you still have to have the key for valet, non tech parents, dealership visits and such... then add the times I don't drive with my phone. Seems like its just going to be another tech feature used a few times then forgotten...

I think he's just saying it may be more of a gimmick type upgrade...which I can't really disagree with. Don't get me wrong, I still want it lol but like the key card, I've only used that twice and it's supposed to be super convenient.

I don't care for this crap. My 3 year old iphone no longer works with my '18 M3, Carplay doesn't connect and even simple BT is very spotty. this happened after an update about 6 months back... After much back and forth Apple told me to get a new phone as the solution really I don't want a new phone. Guess what I don't want Carplay. Just imagine not being able to open your car because your phone is dead or an iOS bug causing your door to constantly lock and unlock or worse someone hacking your phone and opening your car.
Maybe it's just me but if I wanted a rolling gadget on 4 wheels I'd buy a Japanese car or Tesla, the ultimate driving machine needs to do one thing for me, drive like the ultimate driving machine.

It would be nice if BMW responded with a basic reason as to why cars with the (supposedly) required hardware fitted cannot use this new feature just because it missed the 1 July build date.
I would be furious if I had a late June built car for example lol. My partners car is one, but she's an android user so doesn't bother her lol. At least I had 3 months before my M340i got its planned obsolescence for NFC 😂. I'm still pretty annoyed but then again such a small thing in an otherwise great car. |

I thought iDrive 7 was their attempt to finally compete. A unified platform across their cars they can deliver new features to over time. It is looking like they are far from the mark. |

Think of all the Tesla's sold worldwide that would have otherwise been BMW/Merc/Audi etc sales had they not existed. In years to come, Tesla will continue to grow and the incumbents lose market share due to their old ways. What's the best way for us all to collectively or individually give feedback to BMW? Enough so they actually do something about it! |

The question is, to support UWB, will >07/20 prod have new hardware w/ UWB? If not, there's no practical reason for previous build months to be denied the feature. If yes, fine, but give it to us and just limit it to the consortium's 2.0 spec, like the Androids do now.

You're totally right, why can't they just give us 2.0 spec at the very least given android does it. Just doesn't make sense |

But above all, it is a Security thingy and while it seldom happens. You can give a family member a «key», while not beeing at the same place as your car, and above all, for car sharing purposes.

Believe me, this won't be the only reason people choose Tesla over BMW (and I say this as an i3 owner)
