I was using the smart mirror box also from bimmertech, this works way better. Yup, everything including the iDrive controller works with the box. It's as if the car actually came with Android Auto, everything just works 100%.

Navigating through the UI will all be through the iDrive controller, or you can use voice assistant. There's a app drawer button on the top left that you can enter which will have all your apps.
On a side note for everyone else reading this thread, it's a good time to add a reverse camera on your car if you're performing this install. The box has support for reverse camera and you'll save a lot of effort if you wire the camera in now when everything's disassembled.
