On a 2005 545, you can have BT. You may require a software update to get it working but you have the proper hardware in the car...

unless it's an early 05, it should already have it. if you go to the communications menu can you see the bluetooth option or does it just say "contact your bmw center" ?

go to the main menu. press down on the i drive controller to get to the settings page. somewhere in there should be a communications settings menu item. click on that, and one of the options at the top should be bluetooth or paired devices, something like that. then click down to add device. this will make the car discoverable. proceed to the pairing on your phone and choose whatever code you want. enter the same code on the idrive when the car asks for it and you should be set.
