I'm not too familiar with the way BMW Online works (or Yahoo mail, for that matter) but it looks like Yahoo uses SSL for inbound POP messages so unless BMW supports that, you might be out of luck.

Take a look at the following to see if it helps you out:

pop3:
pop.mail.yahoo.com

smtp:
smtp.mail.yahoo.com

You must know that yahoo only supports pop for paying subscribers (called "Mail Plus"). The free version of yahoo mail only supports web access.

So GMail wins out on that score.
