I'm using a iPhone X with the everything up to date.
Program one of the physical radio presets to toggle Bluetooth on/off. When it disconnects next, toggle Bluetooth off then back on. That should prompt a reconnect to phone.

Clearly BMW has OS and/or Bluetooth driver issues they need to resolve. That said, Bluetooth is a pretty crap technology to begin with and it's rarely trouble free. Even previous generations of iDrive has their fair share of issues. Probably not as bad as iDrive 7 is dealing with now, but they've had them.
