BMW office/connected drive/ google search
Are these features just not enabled in our US cars?
POI will not connect to BMW Online to use Google Search... Messages don't go to office - email or text.... and Connected Drive is pretty much useless unless you need roadside...

I can't speak to your POI issue, but emails & text getting to your "office" feature are solely dependant on whether or not your smartphone supports MAP (Message Access Protocol). Given your X3 has been recently built, it's doubtful your Multimedia & Telephone software needs an update...so, it's likely your phone. If you have an iPhone, Apple phones don't have MAP yet, but believe they made an announcement recently and with their pending new iOS, it will support MAP, therefore your "office" will work.
If you have another type of smartphone, best to google it to see if it supports MAP. Dave

Regarding Google search: I don't think anything has changed for 2013 - it only comes with the $199 additional plan. It has been this way for my past 3 BMWs. What DOES work with the base plan is the ability to send locations from Google maps to your car (one of my favorite features!).
Regarding Office: I agree with BMWZ4 - It requires the Bluetooth MAP protocol currently unavailable on IOS devices, but generally believed to be part of IOS6 due in the fall.
