Not sure why so many BMW owners are against more tech incorporation into cars.

Presumably this will use FaceID so if your phone is stolen, unless they can break into that, they won't be able to access your car.
Which will likely happen if Apple Wallet is used as a bridge between key and BMW but then it's just more steps to actually get your car unlocked vs. comfort access where all I need to do is place my hand on the handle to unlock and enter.

It's the world we're living in - technology focused, but it's not something I would use just out of sheer hassle.
Ultimately it will be an option in case you decided to forego using your regular key.

For some people, leaving the house with just a phone, no wallet or car key is a feature worth having. But I doubt this will be mandatory and every car will come with a key regardless.
