Wireless CarPlay - No Internet Connection BMW

That doesn't fix the problem. Your solution does disable wireless CarPlay ... and CarPlay in its entirety. The iPhone's CarPlay software does not allow a wired connection that let's you remain connected to the hotspot in your car. I tried your suggestion of turning off bluetooth and using the USB connection freeing up the phone to connect to the hotspot. It doesn't work. It's the way Apple and/or BMW has written the code. In this case wireless CarPlay is not the innovation some would like you to think it is. I checked with people who do not have wireless CarPlay support, but do have hotspots in their car and they do not have this problem.

Maybe I was unclear. The goal is to use CarPlay and have the iPhone connected to the internet. Since the wireless CarPlay uses the phone's wifi connection to connect to the car it disables the phone's ability to connect to the hotspot and use LTE for its data needs - Nav apps, streaming, etc. - without being forced to use cellular data.

Unless there is a work around I haven't found yet, it means I will not use CarPlay except when Waze is a must. The least they could do is enable a wired connection to the built in system that allows the wifi connection to your hotspot.
