I just looked and from the sound of it, it's coming. Too late for all of us to take advantage in the 8 series but perhaps the next car.
Apple's hardware and IOS already seems a step ahead...
Currently at version 2.0, Digital Key 3.0 specification is based on both Bluetooth LE and Ultra Wideband to enable passive, location-aware keyless access. This would allow you to leave your iPhone in your pocket or backpack when accessing or starting your vehicle. iPhone 11 models are equipped with an Apple-designed U1 chip with Ultra Wideband support, so Apple could choose to offer this functionality.
