2013 335i here. Once in a while my music won't play via Bluetooth and I'll have to remove and connect my phone again (iPhone 11 Pro). Super annoying. I also hate how slow it is when you change songs. Considering getting BimmerTech MMI Prime (mainly for CarPlay and backup camera) and hoping that'll solve any Bluetooth issues (I also hear CarPlay connects using Wifi and if this is the case the MMI should have its own wifi receiver thus eliminating Bluetooth).

what's the process for installing that? I wouldn't mind carplay and a backup camera would be nice. you have to DIY or can shops do it too?

I would just DIY it. I'm sure certain shops can help you install as well, and I believe BimmerTech also has installers in various cities/states.

Not true. I'm holding on to the first gen Iphone SE, 2015?, and not only does it work flawlessly in the car but able to update. The Iphone 6 and earlier lose the updates.
