IOW, the Digital Key tile in the app sets up both the digital key card and/or the Digital Key for smartphones. you can't set up the smartphone Digital Key because you have a MY19 vehicle that doesn't support that feature. however, you can set up the digital key card (the physical card that looks like a credit card)
I feel it's stupid because the display suggests that I can activate my iPhone 12 Pro Max for use as a digital key, but the myBMW app does not offer the digital key tile. If the MY19 vehicles don't have it as an option, the iDrive shouldn't suggest smartphones could be used.
