Digital Key requires the NFC pad (or Wireless Charger with NFC) and the NFC driver's side door handle.
Given that 32Z is advertised even on bmw.de as a no cost option with Comfort Access, I'm assuming there is a chip shortage for the NFC sensors which is why they're not fitting them.
However that does puzzle me, since the door handle and the NFC pad are all interchangeable and still available on the X5 and X6 which are also made in Spartanburg. Only exception is that those vehicles have the Wireless Charging removed. Guessing there just aren't enough NFC pads.
I'm hoping my order doesn't get 32Z on it, but given it was also listed as a no cost option, I don't have much faith that it'll come with the digital key.
