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.
yeah 32Z is also on the UK site. its basically assumed that ALL X3s wont be getting digital key.

but TIL that the door handles are the same for the X5 and X6… which means a retrofit may be capable in the future.

please test it out for us
