Yes, I discovered the same thing some time ago. It's mind-boggling that BMW can't get iDrive to display the text sender's name or other common text information.
This is why I keep both iDrive and CarPlay active on my screen. I generally keep it in the iDrive (dominoes) mode, but when I'm notified by CarPlay that a text has arrived, I hit the controller dial or touch the CarPlay icon in the upper left corner of the screen to temporarily swap over to CarPlay and access that information.
