Does not (currently). Probably will not for MY2023, although there's nuance. Disclaimer: all of this is my understanding, it's always possible I'm wrong. BMW has been very opaque on this topic.

OK, technically, there's Digital Key and Digital Key Plus.

The former only requires WiFi, AFAIK our crappy hardware COULD support it. But BMW has decided we don't get it, and I see little reason they would change their mind.

The latter requires NFC, and we cannot have it ever, since we don't have an NFC receiver in the car.

It's also possible that BMW will switch over to the new hardware at some point, and maybe future G87s will get Digital Key/Plus. Who knows?
