We have the wireless CarPlay implementation in our 2017 X5 and we don't use it. iDrive is very good and CarPlay seems like a step down. However, on rental cars (e.g. Ford Sync) I use CarPlay routinely because the standard human interface and UI is horrid while CarPlay gives me a better interface to work with. In the BMW with any modern iDrive you really don't need CarPlay. Maybe in the future with software updates CarPlay will work better.
