If you have an open CarPlay capable app on the phone when you enter the car it will frequently go to that screen when it connects, but not if there's no active CarPlay app.

Other than those there is currently no way to make a CarPlay the default interface upon connection since the iDrive boots far faster than it negotiating the Carplay connections.
Ah, that's useful thanks - all I need do is have Google Maps, Waze or whatever open as I walk in then and off it goes. I'll look for it in the lower leftmost corner of iDrive, I've yet to see it.
