Would an upgrade to DAB be worthwhile? I did see a youtube video where someone instead overlaid an Android touchscreen onto an E60.

I am an Android user as well. The only thing needed for SMS and email is 6NS EBT coded. SMS works over BT. Email only works, at least for me, using default mail app (white envelope with red @), not gmail; alternatively, it is slower, but with active ConnectedDrive account, you can pull in mail over German services by registering email accounts.
Apps like Spotify or Pandora will work without active ConnectedDrive account.
DAB is a personal preference. I just let my Satellite radio laps on one of my vehicles because I find local HD stations better and most of the time use flaac audio via USB.
