Ah thanks. That's interesting.

I'be noticed that wireless playback via car play is higher quality than over regular idrive Bluetooth.

Wifi probably has more bandwidth.
Yes I've been playing around with different connection methods. To my ears, using spotify, CarPlay has best quality, followed by direct USB and then Bluetooth. I've got the HK system.

It's a pity with the dropouts... so now I've settled with USB connection and have Waze running in the background and mainly using the native BMW navigation (which is very good for a built-in system when compared to other brands).
