What happens when you drop your phone and break it while out on an errand? Or hiking in the mountains and your battery dies? I'd still want at least a fob backup. It would be cool though to be able to enable a friend to get your car for you by sending them a code to their phone.

Well, they did away with dipsticks so I'm sure this will happen. I did kind of laugh at this comment though:

Spare tire gone.
Dipstick gone. CPO warranty not transferable. CPO warranty now only 1 year. Trump "What the hell is going on?" |

People already freak out when they can't text or social media when their phones go dead. I can't imagine when they realize they can't start their car.

More reasons the smartphone batteries have to be constantly charged, lol. It's already bad enough that most smartphone manufacturers don't pack more than 3500 mAh batteries into their smartphones. The fact that QuickCharge 4 still isn't widespread on smartphones in 2017 just adds to that fire.
Hopefully all of the BMW owners test this first before any reasonable person has to deal with this crap. |
