whats your car have besides premium package? if youve got the premium package, then you have the universal garage door opener correct? as well as the folding/auto dimming mirrors. bluetooth perhaps? with BMW Assist/SOS. Lumbar support in the seats

Since you have the premium package, you can use the SOS button to call BMW assist and they can walk you through the features of your specific car. Just some cool features off the top of my head:

Hold down the unlock button to open all windows and sunroof.
Take out your key and put in the door lock, turn it to the left (Maybe right not sure) and all your windows, sunroof and power side view mirrors close/fold in, respectively.
iDrive?
Hold the knob in the direction you want to jump to. For example, say your in the audio menu and want the nav menu. Instead of pressing the menu button to go back to the main screen, you can hold the knob to the right and it will go to the last screen you were on in the nav menu.

What firmware are you running? Have you tried restoring your iPhone? I'm running 3.1.3 jailbroken and unlocked.
