What iPhone are you using?
I have an 11 Pro Max on 14.5.1 and i-step 03/2021.550 and have zero audio issues.
I did used to experience the occasional bass drop out, but that seems to have been fixed either by Apple or BMW at some point. Probably the latter.
I'm not a big fan of the BMW nav, the routing isn't on par with the google maps, tomtom offerings. It's better than it used to be, but rerouting in particular is still really bad. HUD map is nice, though Id never trust it to give me the best possible route.
I flit between 3 use cases and these are my order of preference:
1) CarPlay only - YouTube for music, Google maps and Apple Maps for nav (in HUD). Telephone and messages in CP. Siri works better than BMW or the current Alexa integration
2) CarPlay and iDrive integration - YT for music, idrive nav and CP TomTom for nav, Siri for voice, telephone and messages in CP
3) iDrive only - for when I go to the lake and dont have my phone with me. Everything, music, telephone, messages, nav, are just average. OK but dont work as well as CP for me
