CarPlay is no longer a subscription. They are also one of the few automakers to implement wireless CarPlay and it works flawlessly.

As much as I prefer CarPlay over the default UI of most cars, I had to disable it on my 2019 i3 because it was an unusable disaster.

Interesting. My car has iDrive 6 (not the latest version) and is a 2018 MY and it’s been fantastic.

Agree. You can see my post above at how upset I was to learn the 240i does not support the digital key for 2021. However, wireless carplay has been a saving grace. Pairs nicely with a MagSafe charger since you can get full car integration without needing to ever plug in.
