Finally! BMW Office (iDrive Email & Text Message) Integration with iPhone on iOS6
Good news for iPhone users. iOS6 is finally supporting iDrive Office integration via Bluetooth MAP(Message Access Profile). Bluetooth MAP is the protocol used to retrieve email messages through iDrive, which currently only works with Blackberry and a few other devices.
Couple shots of my wireless non USB connection using my iPhone 4S with iOS6 Beta 1. iOS6 Beta 1 is still a little buggy but this is a great start. I suspect the (Sender Unknown) header will be fixed with the next beta release. iOS6 will be released in the fall. I am also running the latest Connected Drive Bluetooth and USB update from BMW. BMW Update Link Update 06/25/2012: *iOS6 Beta 2 released today. *The senders name now displays in the message header. *SMS Messages are still flagged as Email and not text messages but are still readable and functional.

Do you have BMW Apps? Or is this something we would see regardless of that (as long as you have the most up to date combox version).

I have a 2011 M3. Would I just need iOS6 and the updated iDrive software to run this? I'm not quite sure if I have iDrive Office...

Currently SMS messages are treated and classed as normal emails. Hopefully that will get fixed soon.

iOS6 is just released to developer community and their hacks available to install on your iPhone too but it's not an official release yet to public. The last official release for iPhone is 5.1.1. You can check your version by going to Settings>General>About>Version.

sorry didn't mean to make it sound confusing. I meant software update for the bluetooth system in the earlier build X3's. I got my bluetooth to send messages and emails to my idrive from my iPhone.
