All BMW did there is separate the Spotify APP from CarPlay but your phone is still in play here.
The ConnectMusic plan uses the its own data connection, without a feed from your phone, which is currently not available in North America..

Since the images didn't work for you, here is a video. In the video, I show you that absolutely no phones are paired to the car.
