Then in the same breath I can say I can just use the regular Voice Command button for iDrive (I know you can hold it in for Siri). Works just as well IMO. I'd rather quickly press the COM button on the iDrive controller panel and find the person I want that way (and using touchpad to make it even easier), than pressing MENU, then CarPlay, then telephone & contacts. I can't remember if the touchpad works for CarPlay either.

I don't exactly remember, so don't hold me to this, but I don't think I was able to save someones number from CarPlay as one of my 8 shortcut buttons. I could be wrong though.

Either way, I'd prefer to use one interface at a time. Not always be switching between the two.
