Besides, CarPlay is very limited. If you want to switch to FM radio or a CD, you can't do that from within CarPlay. You have to exit CarPlay first. That's not a smooth, quick operation when driving.
Might vary from person to person, but I don't know anyone I am friends or work with that listens to FM radio anymore. Apple's ad-free stations do me just fine.

That said, I haven't actually used CarPlay, but think Apple in general has UI down way better than BMW.
