How do I get apps into idrive? I've seen some photos of pandora or spotify in the menus but they aren't in mine?

Go into Connected Drive. There's not much there. Most of these apps are aspirational for BMW in the United States. And the smart phone apps available in the U.S. are pathetic.

I had more choices for M4. Not sure why a much more expensive car is inferior in certain areas.

I wish I could use Waze and display it through the screen

What about texts and emails?

Have an iPhone 6s

Previous f31 with a Sony Z1 worked fine

I use Spotify all the time. Use the BMW "Connected" app to link the iPhone to the i8, then select Spotify from the Connected Drive app menu.
