FWIW, Apple released an update to the BMW Connected app today. Does some new cool stuff for the G05 like Remote Start. Hoping it does new stuff for the X7 too.
If BMW were to offer it free, that's one thing. It used to be a 300 to 400 option. I think what they did was just take that lump sum and break it out over 4 years. That's the renewal fee. Their logic, which I partially agree with, was if you buy Apple Carplay and you switch to Android ... what do you do? You just wasted the money on an option you won't be using.
