Yeah, hopefully BMW adds Apple soon given that Apple opened up NFC. I was hoping BMW would add it soon after the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) announced Digital Key 2.0 in the late fall but still no news from BMW on adding iPhones.

It’s pretty cool that the 2.0 technology works to unlock/start the car even if the phone has a dead battery.
