Not suggesting it can't be done, and I've ridden in a lot of taxis around the world that smell like they run on propane or LNG, but for general commuting/driving/trips, I would think propane would be a logistics exercise.

Also LNG reduces the engines life.
And it's true,it stinks while you are in the car,I don't know if BMW would(I assume it would).I used to live in Argentina and there if car is not a diesel it's running LNG (Gas Natural Comprimido),and you can feel the stink.
I also saw some cabs in Vancouver that were running on LNG.
It's not common for the Atlantic coast at all,since natural gas isn't popular even in households.
If you have a good infrastructure for refilling in your area..you would definitely save money on fuel .
