my MY21 45e came with 2 key fobs and the digital key card. i've set up both the key card and iPhone Digital Key. personally, i use the key fob exclusively whereas the digital keys only serve for convenience (going to swim) or emergency (unlock vehicle with key fob inside...ask me how i know).

the iPhone Digital Key will lock, unlock, and start the vehicle without requiring the key fob inside the vehicle interior. there's lots of info on the web and videos explaining this and other features. may wanna check out BMW's 'How to' video series. below are quick references:
