Curious about three things:

Dealer told me the phone will work in either Carplay or BMW mode but not both. So if the car is connected via Carplay and I close Carplay for the standard BMW apps, the phone won't work via Bluetooth in standard BMW model. Funny, the Chevy I rented last week, was able to work in either mode.

Those of you with updated software, what is the version your car is running?

There is internal wifi in the car and a banner came up with the wifi password. I didn't have my phone at the time, and I can't seem to find the password.
Your dealer is misinformed. I use (when it works) CarPlay for Waze and on my live cockpit dashboard see iDrive pulls through the album art and song status, etc. He may mean you can’t display both iDrive and CarPlay on the display simultaneously, but that’s common sense.
