After driving cars that offered USB only CarPlay I can say that wiress is far superior. It's a hassle having to plug/unplug your car every time you get in and out of the car. Why on earth would you prefer wired?
Some believe that wired connection sounds much better than wireless one, i am the one amongst them.

Placebo effect

Technically this should not make sense as CarPlay wireless should have more bandwidth. I guess it's the particular way that BMW implemented it though.

Try switching CarPlay on and off on iDrive, the difference is significant to my ears.
My guess is you're listening through the BMW iDrive BT interface not Apple CarPlay.
