Angry How to use a GoPro (hero 5 session)?

This is so incredibly frustrating it's unbelievable.
Anybody knows if there is a manual or official instructions how to use a GoPro with BMW?

I have a hero5 session, I'm looking for both :
1. using gopro with M Laptimer
2. using the iDrive to control camera settings

Information on the topic is ridiculously sparse and highly insufficient.
About M Laptimer: I believe I can correctly connect the camera since some messages clearly state that. But camera image is not showing anywhere. I don't understand how the app works: how am I supposed to review the tracked session with video like the sample sessions? How does the video is retrieved/associated/does it need to be on phone? obviously it is in the camera's SD.

Using iDrive: I found something online saying the camera sould be in "app mode" what it that? They also mention GoPro app, which I believe is now superseded by Capture. I start Capture on the phone, connect phone usb cable to car, nothing seems to happen or no particular options show up in menus.

Any help is _very_ appreciated. Thanks in advance
