I use the native BMW navigation simply because Apple CarPlay keeps dropping off.
I have my phone connected by a USB cable on a cupholder mounted phone stand. I listen to music via Spotify through the USB (quality is discernibly better than Bluetooth) and I have Waze running in the background on my phone to warn me of police/cameras etc.
To be honest, BMW Navi is very good compared to all other native systems - and I've sampled VAG, Volvo, Mercedes and Toyota/Lexus over the years. But I agree it's still not as good as Google map/ Apple Map.
