One can even send messages via iMessage this way, simply say, "send text message to XXXX", then wait for the prompt from Siri, dictate, she reads it back, and asks if you want to send it. The 2015-2016 X5 M does not have carplay, so I don't know if this approach is now different in the 2017 models.

Yes, this still works on 2017s with CarPlay. One short touch gets you voice command through iDrive. The long hold (2 seconds or so, as noted) gets you to Siri and CarPlay.
