Toggling songs on iPhone playlists

Any of you guys find it frustrating trying to toggle songs on iPhone 6 playlists? It doesn't work that well using the steering wheel roller.

If you have a 2017 there should be apple play. If you use it the playlists should play fine.

It's easier through iDrive on the display screen for me. There is a way you can display 8-10 songs on your playlist at a time on the screen and just scroll down from there plus you can use the arrows to skip to next song. That may not be what you're looking for but that works better than the roller on the steering wheel for me.

Hi, yes these are all annoying and there are many more weird things.

Now, just put the car in sport/sport+ and press the pedal, all these annoyances will magically disappear

Seriously, you'll learn to love your car with all its flaws.

It's an option. Check on BMWVIN.com and put the last 7 digits of your VIN there. It will show you all the options that are fitted and more.

If your have Apple CarPlay but don't see it in your car, the dealer will retrofit it as it was officially released after they started building the 2017 models.

No apple play but I like the idea using the arrows to switch songs. I'm a former Audi guy and I'll give it to them regarding interior efficiency because the volume and song selector knob was perfectly placed behind the mouse.
I do love the M3!!
