Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions.

I find it amazing that BMW does not make clear how this all works. By luck I did order the wireless charging after making sure my iPhone 14Pro Max fits. But I had no clue that wireless charging was in anyway related to smart keys.
Update: I can awkwardly shove my wrist into charging tray (watch face down) and get the car to start. It then says key missing after pulling away. You can still shift out of park. Not sure if the car will shut down later since it doesn't sense a digital key in the tray.

Using a phone, key card, or FOB is easier. I wouldn't rely on Apple Watch as your primary key.
