Just to update this thread. I went to the dealer and complained about freezing idrive/CarPlay. They then updated my idrive firmware from NBTevo_J to P. They said P was the latest version. The update was free and they did it while I was getting my 10k maintenance done.
Today I had a remote coding session with bimmer-tech. I installed three apps from there site onto my laptop to allow the remote coding session. All I did was plug in the obd2 Ethernet plug into my laptop. They were in and out in about ~10min.
Overall I'm happy with the widescreen CarPlay 😜
