The other option is to use your phone as a hardware augment via apple CarPlay/google. I haven't touched the bmw interface for music, nav or calls in my last two cars (F90 and G82). I much prefer apple CarPlay/waze interface. As long as the works you're good
Even software updates are an issue. Navigation is good example, big ole PITA and one typically needs to purchase it. Reminds me of back when one installed their own stereo cause what came from the mfg was crap.
