Why would I want to have to constantly take my phone out, unlock it with Face ID, place it near the door handle then put it in the wireless charger to start the car? Then I have to remember to take it with me every time. Do you know how many times I would leave it in the car when the car was parked in the garage since I don't have lock it? I'd rather they design cases for phones that act like the fob so I can carry my phone only (no fob) the phone never has to leave my pocket either.
Unless this is using Face ID as an additional security feature. But it is not more convenient.

First would be I don’t need my key anymore and can just use my phone. Second, if you have an Apple Watch you won’t need to use FaceID, just use your Apple Watch to unlock. I use my Apple Watch all the time for Apple Pay and it works awesome without requiring FaceID, especially when wearing a mask.
Outstanding that BMW is going to offer this and I just ordered a 2021 5 LCI a couple weeks ago. Excited!
