You won't regret skipping BT streaming option if you know the drawbacks, (at least with my Nexus 4 running 4.2.2)

1. iDrive doesn't display any track information or any details.
2. You can't browse the tracks.
3. You can only skip to next song with iDrive control and not from steering wheel control.
4. If you try to skip multiple tracks it will take forever to resume, and you won't know the song until it starts playing.
5. If you are on a long drive with iDrive screen on for few hours, it gets warm and start skipping the audio or you will keep hearing static sounds.
6. In Android, by mistake if you kill the music player running in background then you can't start the song from iDrive control. You have to open the player from the phone and hit play.
7. BT Audio clarity is mediocre when compared to USB connection.

Except for Chrysler's uconnect system, rest of the automaker's BT streaming are bad.
