This is not the most hilarious things I've heard on this forum but it's up there... if you like a consistently outdated design, lack of live info such as traffic, road obstacles, lack of police warnings such as in waze, then yes please continue to use the bmw systems... but be careful because soon you will need to figure out that wonderful ID8... i'll stick to carplay which is simple, fast, seamless and always understands what I want to do thru Siri.
Great. BMW's navigation does that all too.
Not as good. Also, you can access car settings by saving it as one or more hot keys. Here maps (what bmw uses) isn't as good as Google or Apple - JMHO
