M3 - missing the key card key

These cars are supposed to come with some sort of credit card style key, too, right?

All I got with my base M3 is the 2 regular keys.

SA is looking into it.

No such luck for me. I don't see anywhere for them to be tucked in there

Do you have a base? My suspicion is that base doesn't come with it

Garage List
Is your car a manual transmission or auto? It only comes with auto transmission as far as I know. And you also need to have the Comfort Access option specified.

More details here towards the bottom of the page: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums//s...808676&page=18

Disclaimer: this is for UK M3’s but I’m pretty sure same applies to US too

That's the reason then. It's a manual and I don't have that option. Thanks!

In the US the base model comes standard with comfort access.

Definitely have the dealer investigate and confirm.

The base does come with comfort access, but not with the card key when I checked with the dealer.

The car will automatically unlock and lock your doors when you're in a certain proximity of the vehicle, but it's tied to your key FOB.
