A while ago, I read that all BMW keyless entry keys since around mid 2018 go to sleep after around 2 minutes. Provided the key isn't moved after going to sleep, they're not vulnerable to keyless entry signal amplification as as they don't emit any signal to amplify.
I got my car in September 2018, but it was actually built in May 2018, so I tested this myself. I walked up to the car, put the key on a stool next to the drivers' door, unlocked and then locked the door. I then didn't touch the key for 2 minutes and couldn't unlock the car after that time using the keyless entry. I then picked the key up, put it back in the same position and could then use the keyless entry again.

I have also recently bought an M5. I should probably start my own thread on it, but though it's funny how handling is on your list of things you love whereas its on my list of things I don't love. I guess it very much depends what you previous car was. I have the Bimmercode app and a couple of OBD dongles. Happy to help code the mirrors when I'm next passing oxford on the way back from London. As stated already, you can turn the comfort access off using the idrive menu, but as also stated, the key goes to sleep after a short while. I tested it and it does work so no need for a faraday pouch (I guess some people will still use one to be safe). |

Just to say, OP, nice to know there's another M5 Comp wafting around the increasingly puritanical anti-automobile zone known as Oxford: hope to be giving you a thumbs up in solidarity someday...!

Buy yourself a Faraday box and put your keys in it, I walk in, drop the keys in and sleep soundly.
