I also just responded to your message. I think you should just skip that part, or go with "auto" or just choose samsung or whatever. According to them, BMW designed the entire system in-house including the software and hardware for the screen, and since BMW is not a TV manufacturer, I doubt you'll find any options in the list unless Google Streamer will update their list.
Couple more suggestions after I've been using this setup with no issues at all for couple months now:
The best method to for the sound setup is:
1. Skip the remote configuration for now.
2. Once the home screen loads, go to Settings > Remotes & Accessories > Set up remote buttons.
3. Under Volume Control, change it from "Auto (CEC)" or "IR" to "Chromecast." This allows the Google remote to control the volume of the device itself rather than the car’s hardware. Then you can set your BMW’s volume to a comfortable level (around 50-70%), and then use the Google remote to adjust from there.
Also, make sure HDMI-CEC is Active. Search under the HDMI Settings (the BMW theater screen settings) and make sure the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is ON. This is helpful because it will tell the BMW screen to wake up or automatically switch input source when you press any button on the remote.
