Had same issue with our X5. The email link was the only method that worked. The other methods failed with a "could not download to wallet." I did notice the link in the email specifically targeted Apple wallet.

The Genius installed the key to my Z4 when we picked it up at the Performance Center. I'm not sure what he did. He poked a few things in the iDrive and told me to place the phone on the NFT pad. The key then downloaded. It took less than a minute.
