So I tried logging out of the iDrive Spotify app (you have to choose spotify, then press the "Options" button on your center console to get the logoff option to popup) - then Spotify CarPlay works fine. It won't always start playing audio right away when I start the car, but if I open Spotify in CarPlay and then choose a playlist, it plays right away and continues for the duration of my trip.
It would be nice if I could stay logged in to both at the same time and have them work, but the only time I want to use the iDrive Spotify is if I forget my phone which is rare, so happy to leave it logged off and have things working as expected again.
