I don't see Android Auto at all and my phone keeps showing Android Auto searching but nothing happens, just an error that comes up saying something along the lines of "Something came up. The application has cancelled the request to choose a device".
The only thing I haven't tried is resetting my phone which I don't really want to do. I did hear that a few people had to wait a few days after getting updated for Android Auto to show in iDrive so I'll wait a few days and see what happens.

I had this exact same problem and solved it by updating apps, but to do this you need to go into the app screen menu bar where CarPlay is well as the BMW apps, and then use the 'Options' button on your centre console to bring up the software menu to update apps. When I did that, Android Auto appeared almost instantly and I could connect my phone (which like you, had been trying to connect to it for the 3 weeks since my software was upgraded)
