I'm going to be a bit more generous and go for a B+
I've just installed the Road Top version (because it was available on Amazon Prime next day delivery) to my 2012 E91 CIC iDrive.
It loses points for the sound quality being marginally worse than than using my phone plugged into the USB socket and for the skip / back buttons not working.
Apart from that it really is pretty good and carplay works just aswell as it does in our factory fitted 2017 Polo.
My phone auto connects wirelessly with no problem and the CarPlay screen is up before I leave the end of my drive.
Also I should have tested it in without fitting the cable to the iDrive controller as apparently it's not needed. Mine works fine with it in place but would have saved a bit of faffing running an extra bit of loom.
