I must be in the extreme minority, still on the lowly xs and I love wireless charging and have no overheating issues. Much more convenient than plugging in. I’m fine with it being slow. The main purpose is to preserve existing charge.
Seems like the main problem is that it was designed for older, smaller, less power hungry phones. |

I want also to understand if in a pinch I can use digital key on iPhone or not. I doubt it fits and NFC works for digital key considering also 14PM thickness due to new cameras. |

I don’t have the digital key functionality in my 2018, but I have it in my 2021 X5 and yes, it works fine with a case on. It’s just like Apple Pay, think like that. You don’t have to take your case off at the register when paying with Apple Pay.

Tested it myself: an iPhone 14 PM fits in a 2023 5 Series, and charges/activates, but barely. It doesn't touch the borders, but by less than 1mm.
With an apple leather case it doesn't even if "pushing" it in. My guess is with a very very slim case it could fit with a bit of a push. |

The charging tray kind of sucks for charging. It’s slow and the phone often overheats in it. But for your purposes of uses it as a key in a pinch, it’s fine. Personally, I went with a low profile USB-C lighter plug between the cup holders and I keep a nice black coiled USB-C to lightening cord in the center console and I plug it in when I need a charge which is rare. USB-C literally charges the phone on minutes.

Strange… got a 2022 530e, without the charging pad, but my iPhone 13 Pro Max doesnt fit whatsoever…
Is the actual storage area size there bigger when you have the charging pad option?? |
