To expand a little bit, you can't send a map from your iPhone, but you can send a destination. Unlike on a PC or a Mac, you can't do this from a browser. You also can't do it from the builtin Google Maps app. The only way to do it is by using the free BMW Remote app.

In order to use BMW Remote you must have an active BMW Assist account. Your BMW Assist ID and password are needed in order to activate the BMW Remote app. Once that's done, one of the options on the Control tab inside BMW Remote is Google Local Services. Using Google Local Services you can find an address. Once you've found the address you can click on Send to Vehicle.

It may take a few minutes for the address to get to your X3. When it is received an envelope icon will appear in the upper-right corner of the Nav screen. On your iDrive, select Menu, then Office, then Messages. Off the top of my head I don't recall exact the next steps, but you should be able to store the address in the car or navigate to it.
