This has the Z4 absent:

I hope the second link is wrong...
It looks like Z4 has been added to the second link.

It seems strange that the 6 Series is listed. It's the only car on the list that's not running iDrive 7, and it's not clear if they're actually still building the 6 Series or not - the BMW UK website won't let you spec out a new one.

My guess is that as long as you've got Comfort Access and Connected Drive on your car, you'll be able to get the iOS digital key to work if you update your iDrive to the yet-to-be-released July 2020 version. I can't see them suddenly installing new hardware on all of these models from 1st July 2020 onwards - it's surely got to be a simple software thing.

As a tech guy, I think you are spot on - should be simple software. fingers crossed!

Have the phone app that works fine. On hot 90+ degree mornings run the car to get the A/C going & cool it off before I come out.

Not sure I have the credit card thing - where was it located?
