I see you are (or were) having trouble with iPhone integration and getting email on the iDrive. It can be done but takes a minute or so each time you start a journey:
1. Power on car with iPhone present
2. On iPhone, go to settings>notification centre>email
3. Set number of unread items to any value other than the current value (ie if it is set to 5 Unread Items, change to either 1 or 10.
4. You will now receive email notification in iDrive and iDrive will read the email to you.

It is very unfinished functionality but it does work for me.
