I was just looking at the E60 brochure I d/l from BMW website and it said they are prewired for bluetooth. Now, my question is do I still have to buy something to enable bluetooth? I have an 07 on order and an 06 model I saw had a little button on the steering wheel with an icon of a person speaking into a telephone receiver. The sales guy told me this was for answering a call via bluetooth.

Will my 07 come ready to go with bluetooth? I have a LG VX8100 from Verizon and I know it's not on the compatability list from BMW, but I'm guessing it should work some what right?

Yep -- all E60's come with Bluetooth standard since MY2006 I believe.

Most MY05s as well. Not been too much change in this area except in formal announcements, dealer awareness, etc. I think biggest change happened with revised TCU in 09/04.
