Does anyone know if I can retro my 07/03 build E60 for BT? I've read about the 03/04 and newer BT updates, but I'm hoping that I can somehow/someway upgrade. I have the communication section on the Idrive and all the buttons on the wheel (I know it doesn't mean much). I was hoping someone could answer here before I take apart the panels in the trunk to check the system setup.

You need the CCC computer on nav equiped cars, a post March 2004 one. Non-Nav cars used the M-ASK computer so if no Nav, you'll effectively have to add it to get the CCC unit.

Here's the TCU (Telematics Control Unit)...

On cars this early, you needed to have navigation. Do you have navigation? It uses a different computer which allowed BT... As I think about this, you'll likely be facing a major electronics upgrade to get it done. Not sure it's worth the cost.
