When I leave the office, the BMW "fastest route" is the same 95% of the time and it leads me right into a terrible traffic jam 95% of the time. Only after getting stuck in traffic does the navigation system recognize the traffic and add +20 minutes to my route. I have checked all the settings in iDrive, everything is setup properly. My wife's X3 is just as bad.

BMW needs to allow CarPlay to display in the HUD or they need to fix their terrible "real-time" traffic. Or better yet, BMW should consider licensing the IP from google and integrate their traffic and route knowledge into the BMW system.

I don't seem to have this problem.

Mine shows delays when the map first calculates my journey and then will update when driving asking me to change route giving a few options each time.

Have to agree though, displaying Waze or Google Maps in the HUD would be really useful.
