i connected my iphone to the idrive system using bluetooth and its working fine but the name that appears on the idrive screen is "MIkey's Iphone" which is not me (probably the previous owner as i just purchased this vehicle).
i connected my iphone to itunes (to make sure) and my name appears on it as normal, but on the idrive screen its still good ol' mikey....
your expertise is appreciated fellas

Via your idrive it's either under communication or under BT settings, you should be able to delete devices....

go into the bluetooth setting on the iphone and see if theres a option for displayed device name and change that.. also worse comes to worse do a hard reset..
