Hey, i'm sorry but there is no fix for that. The way the coding is for the bluetooth on the TCU, as long as the phone is connected to the car, the phone basically becomes part of the car. Inside the TCU is a another phoneboard. It looks like a cell phone without the outer shell. When your receiving a call your cell phone recieves the call the signal gets sent to that phone board in the TCU and then it will eventually ring over the speaker system in the car. The way Motorola (Now Continental is making the TCU's) and BMW made the TCU and the way its coded is for it to mute the loudspeaker and ring through the speakers of the car.
Thanks dude!

You might have a software issue with the car. What happens is everytime you pair your phone to the car it changes the ring style settings. So try deleting one of them from the car and phone and try repairing.
How do you delete a ring style from the car? The ringtone embedded in the handset. There are no ringer options on the I-Drive, are there?

You won't see a ringer setting on the I-Drive its a ringer setting in the car's CIP which is the cars coding and programming. Everytime you pair a phone it overrides your phone's ring settings to a default BMW setting to ring over the speakers. Somewhere along that process your car is not doing that. That's why i'm inclined to think you need a software upgrade on your car.
