I was curious about this as well so I spent some time awhile back just trying to find out more about it. It would be helpful if things like this were more easily accessible from BMW and not so hard to find. The whole connected drive ecosystem needs to be better organized and be more transparent upfront that tells you this is what you get or don't get with a G30. Once you find the information, it's laid out fairly well I think, but getting the information is the part that needs some attention, iMO.

This info is available at https://www.bmwusa.com/explore/conne...ReadytoConnect


Looks like the updated Service Availability Matrix is finally published confirming what we already know. No Digital Key support for the G30. Just sharing really so people know the guide has updated data.
