Did we pay $150 (list) for nothing? Why should we buy the iphone4 adapter since it evidently has no function other than charging the phone (music/phone functions come through bluetooth). I've asked my Dealer to query BMW on this situation.
When you specifically ordered or chose a car with 6NF, what were your intended uses? It has been pretty clear for a while that 6NR would be available only on cars produced after 4/2011 for the X series, so this should not be a shock. The lack of a retrofit from BMW is also standard fare, based on past mid season upgrades.

As far as your dealer querying BMW on this, best of luck. A search here and other sites will show a confusing and fact starved search for BMW's position on backward compatible 6NR possibilities.
