        Apple and BMW are match made in heaven. Both fanbase made up mostly of brand snobs with holier than thou attitude.

          If such happens only with BMW cars, then it's a BMW problem, not the phones hardware.

                        That’s just a BMW as well. Probably uses the same wireless charging part
