If you don't have a data plan from AT&T, independent from the Connectdrive service, the Spotify music won't work.

Had you mention before you have a separate data plan from AT&T, then I would of agreed with you.

ConnectMusic is separate from the AT&T data plan, which is still not available in the US.

Your original argument was that it used the phone's service - that's what this was all about. In fact, you were very confident in telling me that it was a "shortcut" from Apple CarPlay. I have an Android, by the way.
Bro, obviously, if your vehicle is not getting a data stream from your phone, then it's getting it from the AT&T data plan.

BMW is not just going to allow you stream data without paying one way or the other. The regular ConnectDrive plan doesn't allow music streaming.

Had you mention, as the other poster did, that you have a separate data plan, then that's obviously where the music feed is coming from.

In Europe, you don't need a separate plan from AT&T, since Connectdrive has a plan called ConnectedMusic.

BMW did separate the Spotify APP from CarPlay, regardless if you have an independent data plan or ConnectedMusic.
