It's never a good idea to offer 6MT with digital key feature is due to safety and liability issues, on auto ZF you can enable remote start feature but not on MT, you could see why BMW never included digital key with 6MT.
To me it's not a deal breaker comfort access is sufficient with the car.

Not that I think I'd use it that much, but still annoying.

I mean, it kinda does. I get within a block of my house and the alarm turns off, the garage door opens and some lights turn on. I still take my keys with me though.

I think the point is that you can carry the card in your wallet. If you lose your key, drop it into water or have some sort of other accident, you can start your car.

I have some lights controlled by Alexa and I think that's high tech.

Yea, geofence settings in a few apps that arm my home alarm when I leave and do the other stuff when I get home. I think Alexa has geofence settings that can do it.

The way I see it is they didn't want to redesign their software to exclude the remote start feature on their app, and online services. They just decided for the minimal people that will get the manual it is easier to just not have it installed and not worry about changing their software. |

I also don't like the "well I don't care they left the feature out because 6MT is AwEsOmE thank you BMW" argument because BMW is literally marketing the feature, with no disclaimer that it doesn't apply to the 6MT, so yes I have issues about the feature missing. |

Even if your house isn't high tech, most can use the built in garage door opener.

After more research, the lack of support for the digital key card is not related to remote start. The card could provide access to the car and the ability to start by depressing the clutch and pressing the button. The problem is that on the AT models, the wireless charging is behind the shifter along with an NFC (near- field communication) sensor, which talks to the digital key card. The MT model has the wireless charger in the console box and there is no NFC sensor.

That makes no sense. There is no greater risk than the AT model. There is no difference between having one in the rear of the console vs. the front.

I imagine when you change the component and/or its location you have to get it approved by regulatory bodies again. That's probably a more substantial cost (in dollars and time) than engineering the part.
