When I put the same phone on my wife's car that is a 2022 (not BMW) it does not charge and the car responds that there is metal between the phone and the charging pad. My wife has an older iPhone without mag safe and her iPhone charges on her car fine without any problems. So it seems that the mag safe functionality along with some newer car wireless charging pads are having problems.
I've got an 18 M5 and iPhone 12 and it gets hot enough to stop working. If I leave the bin open it helps some. If I take it out of the case and leave the bin open it lasts the longest without going back. Super annoying.
