Comments.Text: I doubt you'll find an answer by just letting an engine think until depth 48 or higher. You'd need to play this endgame out (moving the pieces in your chess software's board) to analyze a number of different lines with the engine. Even then I don't know if you'll find a definitive answer, but you'll probably gain a good hunch of what the objective result is.

  In Season 11 Superfinal Game 78 the following opposite color Bishop endgame was reached:
  [FEN "8/2p1k3/1p6/p4B2/P2P1bP1/2P5/1P3K2/8 w - - 0 1"]
  
  In that Superfinal Stockfish smashed Houdini 20 wins versus 2 , but this endgame is interesting because , if Stockfish ( black) did draw it would have completed the Superfinal with a record of only one loss. I am not certain because the tabulates indicated Stockfish was in time trouble at this juncture of the game. Is the endgame a win or a draw? I ask to look (at least) past depth 48.
