What a great idea to set the preset to go right to CarPlay! Well, my Sonos uses WiFi and has some pretty good sound! I would think WiFi even at 2.4 with a speed of 450M would easily trump Bluetooth @ 800k. Though, the best in my opinion is pulling the data from the lightning port. My 17A4 used only the wired port to support CarPlay and the sound was definitely better than using Bluetooth to connect to the MMI.

I wonder if you would notice a difference between tidal and Spotify/CarPlay in the M340i. I may give that a go. Though, I do like how iDrive provides playlist details using Apple Music.
