NBT EVO - Bluetooth Audio Lag?
Has anyone else experienced laggy Bluetooth audio in their 2018 M240i? When I switch songs, there's a noticeable delay. Is this a common issue or something specific to my vehicle? Looking for insights or fixes. Especially OEM Apple CarPlay it starts/stops during the songs. Thanks!

I did, but the NBT Evo is the same in the F30 and G80 isn't it?

Other than ensuring you have the latest iphone software, you could try the couple of fixes that may help-
Delete phone from your car, delete your car from your phone reboot your idrive (hold vol but pressed until it restarts) re-add your phone to your idrive I did have a problem with mine acting strangely once when I had an app open in the background on my phone that allow push notifications to my phone. They were somehow causing the music to start and stop. I've occasionally had to close all my apps and reboot my phone when I've noticed siri wouldnt answer when using the hold to speak function via the voice control button on the steering wheel. |

None, these cars aren't meant for the latest iPhones + CarPlay. That's all I can say.

There is a small delay switching songs with wireless Carplay in all cars with wireless Carplay. With wired CP, it's real time. It's a pretty small delay, but if you have wired and wireless, you know what I mean.

Question becomes how do I get wired carplay in an f22 BMW.. is it even a thing? I rather hook up my phone than having these delays especially during songs. On my OEM BT it works perfectly fine it's just on the CarPlay.

How bad is your delay? We talking half second to a second or more? My delay in both my BMW's with wireless CP is the former. If you are experiencing a delay that is not a half second, it could be your cellular service if the songs are not downloaded and you are 100% streaming. I 100% stream, but I have great 5G coverage in my area. Try downloading a playlist to your phone and see what the delay is like. If it becomes a half second to a second, cellular data bandwidth is your issue. Alternatively, if you really want to plug in, plug in your phone via USB and select USB in iDrive and use the iDrive interface, but again, if the songs aren't downloaded to your phone and cellular bandwidth is the issue, you will have the same issue. You should try this regardless to rule it out or in.

Pathetic we have to troubleshoot things like this in cars that cost $60k new.. Thank you for the insight though. Keep following.

Do you get the same lag with all music apps, including Apple Music. I honestly don’t think it’s the car. None of us have this issue other than a millisecond or so lag skipping tracks. Try some of the things I suggested.
