A Couple of the FAQs I want to point out:
Is BGP supported on all Azure VPN Gateway SKUs?
No, BGP is supported on Azure Standard and HighPerformance VPN gateways. Basic SKU is NOT supported.
Can I use BGP with Azure Policy-Based VPN gateways?
No, BGP is supported on Route-Based VPN gateways only.
One last thing to add:
