I suspect its more likely an issue of Apple requiring specific hardware in the vehicle for the feature it to function. This is reminiscent of many other Apple technologies Homekit, Airplay2, Carplay etc etc that hardware makers have had to contend with. If BMW could roll this out retroactively, even if they charged for it, it would be in their best interest to do so.
