Count mine in as well.
My i4 M50 was delivered a week back.
Has 85 miles in it so far.
I was taking it home after Ceramic Coating yesterday when Google Maps in Carplay decided to route me in strange ways. First I thought it was legit and obeyed , but then I noticed it's giving me very strange instructions. My phone was charging via wired USB and sitting inside the cup holders at the time.
I disengaged car play navigation and came home.
Then later in night I used the BMW app to check on the car and saw that it show location 0.5 mile from home.
This morning when I did a quick drive and came back home the location incorrectness was gone.

Clearly there is something wrong with hardware and/or software.
I plan to start asking my CA tomorrow.
If anyone here has followed up with BMW/dealers for further clarity , please share any input you got.

Question for everyone here who experienced this issue:

• What model of car you have e40 or m50?
• Do you have a wireless charger and if so, how close to the charger you had the phone when the glitch happened

I have not seen this in my car after the first occurrence. Waiting to followup if I see more of this.

Yes, disconnect -> reconnect carplay worked for me too.
I got hit by this for the second time few days back.
My CA confirmed that the dealership knows about this.
I assume BMW need to fix this in a SW update.

When you say disconnect, reconnect carplay - are you doing that by disconnecting from the bluetooth?

I think I disconnected wifi from phone (iPhone).
It immediately re-connected to Carplay and recovered from the error.
Will have to pay more attention next time this happen as I was driving last time and didn't want be too distracted.

M50
No wireless charger. I also don't connect via either USB typically.
Phone is on magnet on vent.
Problem has occurred repeatedly and with some frequency.
Quite annoying.

So with or without wireless charger this happens.
First time this happened I moved the phone far from my wireless charger & it didn;t do anything.

My first time the phone was inside the cupholder bay
Second time phone was on a vent magnet holder.
Looks like this is also a non-factor

Some more thoughts on this based on experience.
I use BMW/Wayzes/Apple Map directions pretty much all the time when I drive.
Almost all my recent drives have been routine routes where map routing is not needed.
Therefore when this GPS hiccup happened, I knew it right away and ignored the crazy suggestions it tend to give and resorted to resetting carplay by turning wifi off-on cycle.

A week back this happened just when I was relying on alternate routing to avoid a road closure.
It was a bad experience since I was fighting the GPS and was not trusting new directions after carplay cycling.
All done in a rush to get somewhere. The constantly changing GPS directions were creating a dangerous situation.

I hope BMW is hearing about these issues and going to address it soon.

Yep gotten worse over time for me too.
This is a real safety hazard.
