That probably just means you don't know how to use the BMW nav system properly.
Just try using your phone to navigate in an area with limited satellite coverage and no cellular signal.
The BMW system can continue to navigate accurately for a surprisingly long time with no satellite signal (mine did for nearly a week with the GPS cable disconnected) because it has inertial and wheel sensors in addition to GPS. Your phone's nav app will stop doing anything useful if you lose GPS lock.
With most phone apps, you're going to have to load map tiles over-the-air as you go. With Apple CarPlay, Apple Maps usually displays a blank grid and a car symbol for me given the very poor cellular signal around here.
You can't display directions from your phone on the car's HUD, on the instrument panel, or on the Command Display.
You can't use the iDrive controller with your phone's app.
What do you think the nav app on your phone does in a way that's "far superior" to the BMW nav system?

You cannot do that unless you have an Android phone, a recent iDrive system, and manage to get screen mirroring working for you.
