How do you disconnect CarPlay from the car so I'm not draining the battery and can exit and leave the car without losing the call?
First, CarPlay connects to current BMWs via wifi, not bluetooth. Second, the switch from CarPlay to phone should happen automatically when you turn off your car and walk away from your car. However, that automatic transition does not always happen smoothly (at least it never does consistently for me) so you can force the transition by changing the audio setting on your phone (during your call and before you leave your car) from CarPlay to phone.
