Honestly, I don't think you are using it to its full potential. Music UI for itunes, spotify and pandora is better on the carplay. Not 1000% better but definitely better.
Navigation, you have to use it in conjunction with other apps & software with your phone and it becomes seamless. For an example: (btw this example is quite common) You are looking for a restaurant on yelp. You finally select the restaurant, venue or bar you want to go to, you click the directions on the yelp app. The directions pop up on your phone and it automatically shows up on the bmw screen. All you do is hit "GO" and you are done. This is much more seamless and faster than copying the directions from your phone to the bmw nav or using the voice commands.
Very well worth $300 for something that is seamless for everyday use imo.
Kind of reminds me of when garmin was "enough" then started getting replaced by factory navigation.
