Spotify (iPhone) Songs Don't Display on iDrive

When my phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth it displays the song info of the song playing at that moment. The succeeding songs information like title, album art are not displayed in the iDrive media screen. Mine is a 2014 535i. It was working fine until last year. Something changed and since then it's not working. I've tried the following:
  1. Uninstalled, reinstalled Spotify from my phone, cleared cache etc.
  2. Tried different phones, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 Pro
  3. Works fine with Samsung Galaxy phone
  4. Works fine with songs in iTunes/Apple music on my phone
  5. Checked software update on https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.html which says it's up to date.

Any idea what could be wrong or what else can I try to fix this?

I know you mentioned using other iPhones and all, but the software system on all those phones I presume are all the same. My point is I had a period where my Bluetooth would not work for music until another iOS version came out. I would wait and see.

I've been testing this for over 6 months with different iPhones on different iOS versions on them.
