Is there some sort of audio booster / preamp device that I can plug into the car's USB and just leave in the center console (and the iPhone cable would plug into that) that isn't mega expensive and meant for situations like these?

Thanks in advance.
In short: no.

USB sends a digital signal. It's 1s and 0s. You can't amplify that. Also: the cable type has nothing to do with volume. USB-C transfers the same data as any other USB interface; USB-C simply allows for faster data transfer.

Check iDrive for a source volume adjustment option while Aux/USB is selected; I'm pretty sure there's one.
