Guys, I am running NBTevo_P with iOS 13 Beta 2 on ID6 (just installed iOS 13 Beta 2 on my phone yesterday). My car is a 2017 F80 that came from the factory with CarPlay. My car DID NOT automatically shift to widescreen CarPlay when I upgraded to iOS 13 Beta 2. I do have some specific custom coding done to iDrive. Specifically, I coded ID5 to ID6, and I retrofitted an OEM 8.8" touchscreen, which also required some coding to get the touchscreen working. However, I don't think the custom coding above should affect widescreen capability.

I think it is safe to say that iOS 13 WILL NOT automatically enable widescreen on ID6 and that the widescreen patch sold by certain BMW coders is still required. At least with the current iOS 13 beta release. For now, I am not holding my breath that the final release of iOS 13 will enable widescreen either. But we shall see I guess....

As far as widescreen on ID7 in the X7 and other newer BMWs with ID7, I think widescreen CarPlay is built into ID7 from the factory for iOS 12 and newer. So while ID7 still has some CarPlay bugs BMW is dealing with, I doubt any coding is necessary to have widescreen on ID7 based on what I have seen so far.
