It's a 09 Z4 E89 with the flip up iDrive nav screen.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations?

TIA
I have just done this two days ago.

I've bought this kit: https://unique-ad.co.uk/product/wire...e89-2009-2016/

It has both android auto and car play (including screen mirroring support)
It integrates nicely with all systems in the car.
You get control via iDrive, including steering wheel buttons.

If you hit reverse, the parking sensors appear as well as line traces based on steering wheel input.

Here's CarPlay in action


Here's a snapshot of the install in progress
