But so far, it has not been a problem at all! Initial connection in each morning always works, and the connection seldom disconnects. A couple of areas where it does struggle a bit is reconnection after stopping/away from car for a short period of time; and sometimes when there are two connected phones in the car at the same time. And when this happens, just a simple toggle of the WiFi off and on (you can toggle phone's WiFi, or iDrive's WiFi) would make it connect again.
So I am a bit surprised you would consider selling a car at a big loss for this problem, which seems a bit extreme to me. Have you updated the iDrive software to its latest version at your dealership?

You’re just lucky. My CarPlay is unuseably glitchy. I’ve stopped using it and rely on the simple bmw idrive Bluetooth connection.
