Sorry
If you want to retrofit 8.8” display as I have done then you could use retrofit suppliers to give you the RSC code to activate CarPlay (but you might lose it when the dealer reflashes the ecu).
That's not 100% accurate as some have found out here and in the x2 forum, there's a combination of missing options that will prevent Carplay even via MMI or retrofits with the 8.8" screen in a 2018 vehicle, but apparently it's a rare combo of missed options.
