Thanks! I love this car, but I don't want it to sit for a year, and hoping to find a used M2CS when I get back. For a daily car it's absolutely perfect. I got carplay added working with Steve at codemybimmer.ca I did a write up on it in the forums somewhere. I can track it down later when I'm not at work. But basically the newer entrynav2 HU has WiFi and enhanced BT which is all you really need for CarPlay to work. It was just a matter of getting the software to be unlocked and uploading an activation key which is where Steve came in. It cost a little more than CarPlay add on, but I saved the $2,000 I would have had to spend to purchase the Nav package as a prerequisite. The only difference is the HU doesn't support touch screen. Not a huge deal since I find the screen is actually awkwardly far to reach while also driving. Using the idrive wheel is really intuitive and easy. I love the set up.
