According to the manual, the way to assign any iDrive function to a button is to first select the specific function or screen in iDrive, then do a long press of the desired mode button, and it should save it to that button. I have done this with radio station presets and it works as advertised. However, with CarPlay open, when I do the long press of any option button, I get a "Unable to save" error. I tried resetting iDrive, but still doesn't work.
So have people really figured out how to assign CarPlay to one of the memory buttons? If so, what am I missing? FWIW, I have had my X7's software updated a few times since my X7 purchase and I have kept my iPhone up to date during this period, but it has never worked each time I have tried it.

Yes. It's easier to walk you through it; but I'll try to type.
Select the apple car play item in the menus - but don't actually click on it. Hover over it. Then select and set the radio button. Holding down a button, like #5 for me. The new 07.2020 software also allows you to set a button for apple items like Waze or Music. But similar just hover over it, not selecting to set it.
