Is it possible that the car has such weak connection or it is another thing causing this, because when I play music through Bluetooth only there is no need to leave the phone down near the cupholders?

Did you purchase the car new? Was CarPlay active on the sticker?
I from my understanding was that BMW would only add the additional WiFi antenna on cars that opted for CarPlay early on. If you purchased it used or had CarPlay coded on without adding that antenna you’d have an experience similar to what you have where the signal range seems really small.
I only say used as the previous owner could have had it coded on without the extra work on the antenna.
