I suspect adoption of the new encryption may have been in response to reports of people stealing BMW's by cloning keys.

I seriously doubt that. Me thinks BMW is more concerned with warranty claims with "tuned engines" than their car's getting stolen. They like that because it might get them another new car sale. Car's running with tunes cost their bottom line... and that is not good for any company.
