In terms of audio quality, what others have posted is correct; wireless carplay should not have any degradation in sound quality. OP, check to make sure you're not streaming music over BT somehow. That would definitely have worse sound quality. The DAC in both the iPhone and the BMW headunit are crap, so there's that too.

One advantage of wireless carplay is that, for music, you could plug in a dedicated source (like a flash drive) into the center armrest, while still being connected to carplay.
Yeah but similarly we have a hard drive that you could copy audio on from any USB device preventing the issue in the first place
