I'm not a BT expert but I think you need to go to the settings ("i") menu by pressing down the iDrive controller. From there you need to find the setting that enables bluetooth.

I'm sure someone else will chime in here and set you straight. I think you just haven't found the right combination of settings...

If you have a fax number, I can send you a tutorial that walks you through it step by step.

Are you able to scan it and post it? What format is it in? If you have it in any digital format, you could email it to me or someone else here and we could probably post it for everyone to see...
