If you have CIC navigation, then you can retrofit combox for BT streaming. If not, you can not stream trough BT.

You can stream music via bluetooth using this (This is how I do it).

BlueStream Universal - Talk
This looks easy, if you're into wiring you can instead use the Sure Electronics board, work good for me.

Thanks. I went with this one and will report back after I try it. My concern is that the iphone may not support two pairings at the same time. One pairing with the e61 voice for the phone and one pairing with this device for the aux in.

The Miccus in the post above works perfectly. I used it this afternoon and was able to stream music via aux from the iPhone 5 while also being connected to the car's (06 e61 530) bluetooth for telephone. Nice product, seamless integration, tiny form factor with a stupid name. $20 at Amazon.
