In situations where it is the fastest way to accomplish something: hey BMW:

"Navigate home"
"Navigate to <general location>"
"I'm hot/cold"
"What's the tire pressure like" - if something feels off and I want to be able to handle a sudden deflation if that occurs.

In CarPlay:
"Play playlist <blah> in apple music"

When my wife is not answering her phone and I'm driving (BMW to Alexa integration):
"Hey Alexa": "Announce <wife> answer your phone please" - goes out to all 12-14 Alexa devices at home.

Other stuff like turn off lights at home, etc via Alexa. Or to set the home temperature some time before I arrive. Whatever I can do with Alexa.
Wow! You are actually putting the BMW tech to good use! I didn't even know all that was possible, I never even set up the card key or the phone key in my car. Good for you!
