I'm android and Android Auto, but Yes to all of the above! I haven't really noticed a timeframe, but the BT audio signal does intermittently get choppy. And I've noticed the phone does get quite warm in the little charging spot. I drove back from my PCD. I put my phone in the charger at 92%. It made it up to 96% but ended the day at 44% with the majority of that time being in the charger. I'd only had the car for a day at that point so I wasn't expecting it to not charge and wasn't on top of the blue light orange light to know when it is and isn't. Recently I've taken my phone and held it very firmly out the window to cool it down at which point it goes back to charging. I don't see a good fix for this without BMW redesigning the charging space. Also, I find it's not hard to forget my phone in the car even with the reminder on because it's a bit out of sight out of mind when the phone is in the charger.
