That looks like a good option. I hope it works out for you. Unfortunately, I do not have the iDrive. I just have the crappy Professional radio. So, to get CarPlay, I need to add a screen. That has proven very difficult to find a screen that will not ruin the aesthetics of the interior or interfere with my shifting of the manual transmission. The single DIN Alpine looked promising, but its big screen just protruded to far. I would hit it every time I shifted into 1st or 3rd. But I think I have found a solution in Joying's 8.8 inch android unit.

This thing's screen is 9.4' x 4.2' and will fit in the dash perfectly. It is ridiculously powerful and can do practically anything (assuming it doesn't break). It has an app called Zlink that can simulate CarPlay and Android Auto. I am going to get it installed soon. I'll report back with problems, that I fully expect.
