I presume the streaming is music and album art to the BMW basic system, not the CarPlay option?

Streaming music via Bluetooth is the same. These two options applies to all versions. Carplay runs via WIFI and adds the options the other guys are mentioning. I.e. Apple Maps, messages, you can control some apps directly on the iDrive screen etc.

I’m wondering is it possible to charge the phone via cable and still run CarPlay wirelessly, on a car without enhanced Bluetooth?

I don´t know. My car is a "pre-LCI" and back then Carplay was an option. I haven´t tried to charge the phone via cable while using Carplay, since my car has wireless charging - but I would assume it´s possible.

I have the power cable tucked between the roof and windshield, then behind the passenger A pillar rubber strip, under the glove compartment, then along the bottom of the center console, and finally up into the armrest storage USB port. (There is a hole under the rubber mat of the storage compartment to pass the cable through). You can also just tap into the mirror wiring or the fusebox. |

You're welcome. With my set up, I can access the two outer garage door buttons. The right one very easily. That's the only one I use since I have only 1 door. The center button doesn't have much space at all. |

Before my current G31 I had a very, very basic G30 (no satnav, basic BT etc.) and it showed album art when streaming. So, it might be that Extended BT was needed on the older generations for album art, but not on G30.
