Looks like he's getting ready to shoot an M40i with his BMW wrist laser.

It's an option on the 5er, €430 and was supposed to release this past summer. The 5ers looks a bit different though and was done with Monteblanc.

Is the Activity Key supposed to be more convenient than the key in your pocket?

I think if you happen to go running with hot pants on it’s more convenient. Maybe it is waterproof too?

Oooooh, that's right. Biking too. Ahh, I was a bit narrow minded there.

Not sure about the hot pants, but having a waterproof key is useful. When canoeing I use a waterproof buoyant pouch for my key, phone etc.

Jaguar has this on the F-pace as well. Hard to justify the cost, but yeah it makes sense for outdoorsy folks. I carry a hydro pack when I go MTBing so I just disconnect my fob and leave it in my bag, but that's a harder sell if you're running or not carrying something with pockets.

Looks a bit cludgier than the Jaguar design though.

Why is he looking at it like it tells time? Either way an activity key would be an awesome option

its water proof and really very convenient if you like outdoor activities like biking or kayaking it can get wet and it keeps working. we had a jaguar with it and its about the only thing we miss about that car.

He's having an affair and the "locator" is telling him the wife is on her way

The appropriate term is, "gentleman's intermission."

Really like the Cerium lighting up the great artistic styling of your front end. It gives definition that would otherwise be missed by many onlookers.

The Activity Key exists! It can be ordered, part # 66-12-2-471-786 <- the 'key'
and the accessory box (band, clip, keychain) is part # 66-12-2-445-001

My dealer is charging $160 and $52. I'll be ordering this in the very near future
