I will always use it on autocross going forward as it is useful info. Also it overlays the tracked car with data over an airphoto (slightly off with gps drift) but still good. My iPhone could not be tucked away, it needed to be out in open for good god signals.

Strange, I have the same car and I can leave the phone in my pocket or console with no problem. I did notice that the app would pop on at two different places on my iDrive. If you go to ConnectedDrive it should appear under Smartphone apps...but be sure when you connect your phone that you check the box to also connect apps...by default the phone will connect without the apps.
