Interesting, I didn't know there was such an option for the X5, I'm curious to see if anyone has one or if we can get them here.

It's documented in the Owner's Manual, which is in the Driver's guide. I don't know if they're being delivered in the US, however.

It allows you to use your phone as a key, to open the doors and start the car. It uses the same NFC tech as Apple/Google pay (near field communications) once your phone is enabled with the digital key.
I don't really understand what the advantages are over regular comfort access especially since the phone has to be sitting on the charging pad for the car to start unless I'm missing something. I get that you don't have to carry a key and you can share the digital key with other people so they can drive your car without needing the physical key but to me it's a solution looking for a problem. Here's a video explaining it.

The IT guy said he thought I would have to pay for this. I know there are iOS issues with these keys for the moment, but what about the 'credit card' alternative to the regular key? How do I persuade them to provide such things to me?

In the opening of this video, we are shown - not on an X5 - where one can unlock the door even with one's smartphone is turned off or the battery is dead. Anyone know if that will be the way of it with the G05?
I also wonder once the iOS issue is resolved if we can use our Apple Watch Series 4 to do the unlock since it has the BMW Connected app but not sure what would happen with starting the engine.

The keycard will be available Q1 but there was no mention of current owners getting one.

I suppose this will be the way of it until early 2019.

I went back to the video in post #6 and apparently we must start with the service department for some kind of registration.

I just went to my online owner's manual and noticed language saying I can activate one free smartphone digital key.
Activate BMW Digital Key The vehicle owner must present proof of authorization for his vehicle at the service center to be able to use BMW Digital Key. The vehicle owner configures a digital key code at the service center to be able to enable additional digital keys at a later time. Purchasing digital keys An initial digital key is provided in the BMW Connected app when the vehicle is purchased. Additional digital keys can be purchased via the BMW ConnectedDrive Store. The purchase of digital keys can cause costs. The period of validity of a digital key is limited. The expiration date of the validity can be checked in the BMW Connected app and in the vehicle. If a digital key has expired, the vehicle can only be unlocked and locked for a limited period and a limited number of engine starts is possible. The corresponding information is shown on the Control Display.
