I agree. IMO CarPlay is great for those cars who don't have an established or polished infotainment system (majority of the car industry). I don't blame BMW for taking their time in implementing CarPlay. I think BMW has done a great job with improving iDrive over the years. Unless you absolutely need iOS-like functionality in your BMW, I don't see why you would use CarPlay over iDrive with its built in iPhone support (assuming you have the required add ons).
