Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your bike in good health.

Long time MX rider and last week on a whim I went into the dealer and they had a '23 M package with forged wheels and the premium option available for $23,700 MSRP. I happen to have that much burning a hole in my pocket so it came home with me. I am pretty sure the winglets pushed me over the edge 8). My first sport bike since I had a '93 900rr. It is definitely quite different.
Rode it 125 miles yesterday after I picked it up and I am super happy! My only complaint is some buzzing vibration in the throttle side of the handlebars at higher rpm. Thank goodness for the cruise control so I can give my hand a rest. Oh and also with all the electronics it should have Apple CarPlay lol. My favorite option so far is the hill assist.
If anyone else is in the San Diego area I would like to find some people to ride with. Also thanks so far for all the information I have found on here! I do plan on doing some track days and possibly the Superbike School.

EDIT: Apple Wireless CarPlay requires bluetooth AND WiFi. BMW motorcycles don't have WiFi hardware.

Apple CarPlay is a license software package. Many OEM cars and Trucks have issues with making an agreement with Apple on this darn license. Once the license is done, the hardware only requires a USB cable interface.
You are describing wired Apple CarPlay, I had incorrectly thought that Apple sunset it and certainly wasn't aware of any manufacturers still supporting it. My mistake, corrected comment above.Apple CarPlay does not require WiFi. Its does not even require bluetooth if you cable the phone to the system with Apple CarPlay.

I am fairly confident BMW dropped wired Apple CarPlay a while back, at least since iDrive 5. As for other manufactures support, don't know, don't care.
Get Started Guide - Apple CarPlay Compatibility - BMW USA
Pretty sure licensing isn't the obstacle to support.
iOS - CarPlay - Available Models
Find out which automobile manufacturers currently offer or are planning to introduce models that support CarPlay.

Apple CarPlay uses WiFi to stream everything not BT, BT is only used for the initial handshake.
Guessing 99% of you won't care but here is the info anyway.

How wireless works... (aka Wifi + Bluetooth)
https://developer.apple.com/videos/p.../722/?time=913
Bluetooth is used for discovery and the initial connection. Once the Wi-Fi credentials are sent to the iPhone over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi is connected, Bluetooth is disconnected, and all subsequent CarPlay communication is over Wi-Fi. During the CarPlay session, all audio, including phone call audio and video, is transmitted over Wi-Fi as well as the control protocol. CarPlay requires a Wi-Fi certified AP, and 5 gigahertz is recommended. Note that high throughput, 25 megabits per second, is required.
The Bluetooth subsystem needs to support the communication protocol.
