My Grandad has the 2012 X5, and he had a Snap in Adaptor for the Nokia 6230i from an old X5. He put the snap in adaptor and used the Nokia as a 'backup' phone and he has a Blackberry connected via Bluetooth as his main phone. Problem he found was that the Nokia would connect to the system before the Blackberry therefore when he came to ring someone on his Blackberry it would dial out on the Nokia Number. In the end he ended up just taking the Nokia out.

Another solution I had was that, if you wanted two phones, just have call forwarding on the Smartphone, then if you didn't answer it would forward it straight to the phone in the car and just have one phone connected to the iDrive. Then it would just use the minutes out of your contract to transfer the call to the Nokia. That would also solve your problem of if you had no signal on the smartphone it would just divert straight away to the Nokia in the car...and you wouldn't have to give two numbers out :-)
