BMW should provide a cooling solution for the charger in the future, as this is a continuous problem. Honestly the chargers are fairly ineffective anyway. In the X7 we have cooled cupholders so theoretically they could do something similar.
But ultimately Apple made a mistake here with thermal management. I heard there’s also a SW update that will throttle things back to reduce overheating. Haven’t seen it yet.

Apple replaced mine under the Apple care program, if I didn’t have that i believe they still would have replaced it as their diagnostic tool said that the hardware module had failed. However it won’t take long for Apple to put the connection with bmw chargers together, and at that point it will depend on who is blaming who for the issue. If you have Apple care it won’t matter as they are very good at covering accidental damage etc, just having the warranty might be another story
I was using the charger and apple car play
