All the functionality, including physical buttons, works perfectly.

Compatible or not, dealers are not allowed by BMW to do it.

The X5M keyfob looks even bigger though... if it were smaller that would be one thing.
Length and width are similar to original key. But Razer key is actually thinner and thus better fits in your pocket. I'll get you a side by side picture when I am back home using the 2nd/spare original key.
