Great news!!! I have definitely had several issues with the iDrive 7. Was going to try to bitch and moan about customer sat to get CarPlay covered for the remainder of my lease.

I get the overall lower cost/better quality argument for bundled options and standard offerings. But it's a sad time. |

My will expire in Jan, I only drive on the weekend, so if it takes them a while to roll out I'll sit and wait... unless they're doing 2021 and later model only...

I use both depending on what I am doing. It's easy to go back and forth now that BMW has worked out the bugs with CarPlay implementation. Be advised that my comments are based on my experience with my 2018 M3 comp and my 2019 X6M.

Mine is free until May 2020. I suspect they will make it free soon and those people who already paid will be out the money. I don't see them doing refunds....

The main big advantages are of course the layout being very similar to your phone, the ability to use Google Maps or Waze which I much prefer over BMW/Mercedes' navigation, as well as Spotify (or apple music/other streaming services) being extremely easy to use. I mainly only use it for music, podcasts and maps, and answering calls from the wife or children. |

It's absolutely shocking that they knew about this and still sold it as. Black Friday deal last week.
