So when you say "I am in China at the moment and we are illustrating the display key", do you mean you're illustrating a picture of it, a dummy unit, or a fully functioning 'Display Key'?

The official media documentation for China i8 lists the display key , as I have mentioned previously the first i8s are the first production models built specifically for global demonstrators and evaluation fleet at BMW AG . These use the i3 key. The display key will arrive for customer production models.
Scott26, having not heard anything on this subject for awhile, I thought I would ping you to see if there is any update on the display key. We noticed that for the first 8 customer cars delivered at the Welt that they did not include the display key, so we're all wondering if BMW's plans have changed. Thanks for any info you can share.
