when you buy a brand new BMW with Apple carplay preparation do you get a free trial or are you obligated to pay the yearly or 20year subscription right away?

In the US, you get the first year for free. It could be different in Canada.

Picked up my car yesterday. ID6. Mine expires some time in 2023. Only CarPlay option on the build sheet was Apple CarPlay Prep.

In the UK this week they are doing a BMW Connected Drive Black Friday - usually CarPlay is £235 for 3 years, now £118 unlimited.

was it all ready to pair with your iPhone or did the dealership have to activate it

No. After logging into connected drive it told me some options would take a few hours to appear. Carplay took maybe an hour.
