I wouldn't hold your breath on that one, especially if BMW, like most car manufactures lags behind the current cell phone tech like they have done in the past. For example, LTE (or 4G) has been available in cell phones for a long time (since mid/late 2000's), but the telecommunications tech in BMW's did not adopt LTE until early/mid 2010's - my wife's 2013 X3 has 3G tech (which BMW no longer supports BTW). 5G is not even main stream yet for your average cell phone user.
That said, I don't really understand the reason for the lag considering how new tech in general progresses pretty quick today. Hopefully the telecomm tech lag of the past will be minimized moving forward.
