Keyless go system for M5

Anglas · 14th May 2005, 23:27

Any idea why BMW even on M5 do not offer “Keyless go” system! Never understood that!

My friend owns Merc S 500 Lorinsser 2002 production with keyless go system and I like it very much.Feels and looks very sporty and in fact very convenient! Not sure how many years Merc use this system but at least for 3 or 4 years.

Does any one else thinks it would be very nice if BMW would offer keyless go system for M5? It would add even more sporty feeling?

Maggo,

Are you absolutely sure about this? What is your source for this information? I am on the waiting list to get my 2006 M5 next year and I would REALLY love to have this option. I just don't want to be disapointed when I actually get it knowing that Keyless Go on M5 is not available. Thank you.

Maggo is an insider for a BMW electronics supplier so I think this is correct.

thanks for your info Maggo!

i have few questions for you with regard to this option.

does it mean 5-series key will become those retangular thingy like 7-series and 3-series?
and do you only get stater button (and the special key?) with if you have such option?

thanks

I believe MB's Keyless GO allows you to start the car with the start/stop button as long as the keyfob is somewhere in the car. I think that is diferent to the BMW's the have the rectangular key and the start/stop button. I think there is an option on the 7 series (comfort access??? or something) that is closer to MB's Keyless GO?????

based on my experiences with Keyless o on my SL55 I would rather do without it. In the end I used to take the key along as well due to my lack of confidence in the system!!
