FWIW, I don't experience any lag or connectivity issues with CarPlay in my M4. Engine on, Carplay auto connects wirelessly in 1-2 seconds, and I'm good to go. I don't have in-car wifi, just my phone carrier connection. I don't have Waze, but I find Google Maps a tad more accurate than iDrive maps. Also, it's just easier to go between Google Maps and Spotify (since they're both on the same CarPlay screen) than toggling between iDrive Maps and iDrive Media using separate buttons. |

I like it so far, very buggy can seems to select to view all the songs on phone, it can be better. My Toyota Prius has a decent sound system integration without the use of my phone and simple to use. CarPlay is buggy , sometimes it won't connect and you have go back into the idrive setup now and then.

Unfortunately new FW (20-03-540) has the same issue, but CarPlay activates always with incoming message. Will try to flash new version new year

The BMW Carplay on the other hand was absolute horse dung in comparison. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not. It would randomly lag, then disconnect and the refuse to connect again, all while you are driving with Waze trying to get somewhere. Carplay itself is BRILLIANT, but the way BMW integrated it.. maybe they sabotaged it to make iDrive seem superior? |

I have ID6 that I retrofitted in my '16 and I love the full screen carplay. I've had it since late 2020 and I could count the connectivity issues I've had on one hand... surprised so many hate it

I had a G30 before my F82 comp so I was able to offset the smaller screen by havin widescreen CarPlay.
Keeps the F series spec modern and I must helped 6 or 7 colleagues get the same from bimmer code. They all love it. I use CarPlay for google maps, Spotify and Waze and never go near Idrive Only thing I miss is the nav directions coming up in heads up All in all I think CarPlay is superb |
