Check out the G30 forum at the "other" BMW site. The consensus there is had they to do it over again, they wouldn't purchase the CarPlay option.

I agree with you and others...the OEM CarPlay option is not worth the price. For those who have a compatible car, OEM CarPlay is available for a $1 one month trial (in Australia at least). The new iDrive has many features that make CarPlay redundant. There are also several reasons to dislike OEM CarPlay, such as Waze not using the full screen.
However, for those like myself without Connected drive, a retrofitted carplay system allows me to "push" nav addresses onto my CIC screen. The aftermarket CarPlay solution also stretches the entire screen.
For anyone looking at any sort of mirroring retrofit option, I would suggest you do your own research to understand the options available and pick what best suits your needs.
