It may not be the BlackBerry's fault -- does the car even have Bluetooth available? (Do you see anything related to Bluetooth on the iDrive menus?) If not, depending on when it was built, you might be able to get it enabled via software only.
Pretty much everything you need to know about this issue is posted in the Bluetooth forum so you've come to the right place -- welcome!

Don't get too torqued up. I have a Blackberry 8830 from Verizon and it synched up perfectly on the first try. This may be operator error. Please double check both the BB manual and the BMW manual to make sure you have them both in the desired mode to search for one another. Let me know if you need more help.

I'm still betting that the car hasn't been retrofitted with BT since it's a (new to him) 2004.
Clearly the Blackberry isn't the issue...
