If you have a iPhone 5 you'll also need a 30 pin to lightning adapter. It's possible BMW has a newer Y-cable with the lightning connector, I didn't ask. You don't transfer music. You access your songs directly via the controls on the iDrive or Steering wheel and they appear on the Nav screen. Phone is charged as well.
Ok so Ill need that Y-cable. Great info, thanks!

With a little research I found a small USB device to give full Bluetooth audio functionality, here is the link for anyone interested.

I personally would rather go wit the Y-cable so I can keep my phone charged.
