This is a YMMV issue, literally.
I have found the BMW navigation to be mediocre at best with huge failings in city traffic in the Boston area where rush hour can be very dynamic.

If I'm going on a long trip, yes the OEM is fine, but if I'm going near a city both Google and Apple have far better real time traffic and will reroute me around issues that come up, OEM navigation just sends me into traffic and lets me sit there.
