It would have to be considering that these new features allow starting the vehicle which isn't possible with iDrive 6.

I imagine on all cars supporting BMW Digital Key. As this is basically that feature on iOS.

I find keeping the key in my pocket works fine. I would much rather BMW use its apparently small programming staff to let me customize my dash display and HUD. In a digital world, there should be more customization possible.

100% agreed. Apple CarKey would be a nice backup in case you lost your keys though.
