For me BMW Office + iPhone 5 on iOS 6.01 is a complete FAIL.

First of all, nothing should be this complex to setup even if after going through all this it did work. I have tried every combination mentioned here and on every other BMW Office/iPhone thread on the internet and the best I have gotten is I have received a text message on the iDrive screen that arrived on the phone while I was driving and the iPhone was connected. And even then I could not reply to it through the text dictation in the iDrive.

My Samsung Galaxy S III connected without any special combination of settings and loaded every text message on my phone into the iDrive every time it connected to the car and allowed me to reply to any of them or even create new text messages through the iDrive.

Of course the drawback to the Android phone was no BMW Apps. But I'd rather have the messaging features work properly than the Apps.
