you can simply login to your BMW Connected Drive online and add Apple CarPlay for a $300 USD Fee provided your car has iDrive 5 and above.

After making the payment, Apple CarPlay will appear in your car within 24 hours

Why do you need to pay? Because umm...BMW

The difference between the id4 and id5 hardware is memory. I'm guessing BMW doesn't want to provide a compromised experience in the ID4 model. What doesn't make sense is that BMW released a revised system for 2016 (nbt evo) and then revised it again in less than a year to the nbt evo with 4gb of memory.

That's true, as I mentioned, you need to have iDrive 5 or above to enable Apple CarPlay

I'll make this easy for you - carplay sucks. This is coming from a BMW and Apple fanboy. Just use the BMW tech - it's better than carplay. Spend $300 on a new Apple watch.
