With the B&W system, the difference in quality between Apple Music via Carplay and Amazon Music Ultra HD via Carplay is HUGE. The B&W with the Amazon music is definitely the best I've heard from a stock audio system in a car. It is several factors better than the B&O in my 5-series.

From reading this thread, it sounds like using CarPlay with the B&W is a bit of a wash? I’m interested to see if those apps are standalone. From the section on the BMW site, it sounds like they are. Wonder if it’s not available until a future update? That’s honestly a huge selling point. If BMW could clean up the sms/iMessage handling and contacts on iDrive, and the music apps were stand alone streaming to the car, I would skip on CarPlay. I have the HK, so it handles Apple Music just fine haha. Honestly, I just crank it up and it drowns off the little crackles and rattles in the cabin. Worth the price of admission!
