This is like no ordinary car key. A BMW insider has shared these images with Bimmerfile, which shows what the i8 smart key with a high-resolution LCD screen could look like. Reportedly, BMW has created this computerized car key for the 2015 i8 plug-in hybrid sports coupe that displays the charge left in the car, the current capable range, when it was charged last and whether it’s locked or not. Also, there’s a spot to dock the key fob in the dashboard of the 2015 i8 hybrid. With all of the qualities of a smartphone built into a key fob, this shows some very revolutionary thinking and design on the part of BMW.
