Not a big fan for two reasons. I bought a bimmertech last year, installed it, but after the install found that I had to install another wire to make the back-up camera work with a manual transmission. The apple play feature did work for a while, but after I installed IOS 10, it was no longer compatible, and no longer works. I contacted bimmertech, and they told me "yeah, we are working on fixing this". My brother in law, a professional programmer, told me that Apple gives them a year notice on changes. I am now thinking that it was kind of a waste of $700.
