Yes, Album Art is never shown for the Spotify App if it's shown on the split screen, it is for other audio sources.

If you use the free version of Spotify then it will only work in Random (Shuffle) mode, in Random mode you can't go back to the previous track.

There are a few other minor bugs in the Spotify App, things like the 'Spotify' source name does not always appear on the Nav info overlay in the top right. It's also a bit of a pain to have to have the iPhone unlocked when you dock it to have Spotify come up on the iDrive. If you have the Connected Drive App running there it makes the selection of Spotify more awkward too.

It's a reasonable start, but it could be quite a lot better with just a little bit more work.
