Just got my car back from the dealer (again) and the bluetooth finally works! It's very cool. In the end, they had to replace the TCU. That did the trick.
Now I just have to figure out what phone to get (or to see if my programming skills are still up to snuff so I can write my own implementation for my smartphone . I've been borrowing a friend's T637 because the dealer wouldn't do anything without a phone on the "offical" list.
Anyway, just wanted to share my joy. This is a cool feature (for an awesome car).

Wouldn't do anything without a phone on the official list? Mine enabled Bluetooth for me with no phone since I don't know what I'm getting yet. That's weird.

Another excellent link. Used info on this link to request adapter for my soon to be delivered 6er. Also helped him with his boss as he had same phone (Motorola v551) and did not know there was an adapter for his 530i.
