Checking the ETK comes up with the following:
RETROFIT KIT, VOICE INPUT SYSTEM
for vehicles with
Navigation System Professional S609A = Yes,
AND
Voice Input System S620A = No.
The part number is 84 64 0 396 162.
I'm going to ask the dealer about it on Friday (I have the large Menu button beside the Idrive controller btw, not the split Menu/Voice button). I'll keep you all posted. Anyone else had the kit installed?

I'd be interested if there was a retrofit for non-NAV cars. In the states, the Voice Input System is standard with the NAV option.
I got no NAV. I just want the Voice system.

Ok, wait for it. ?220 all in including fitting! 
The retrofit kit is on trial somewhere in the UK at the moment, so once it's been approved by BMW it will become available for the dealer to order in. I've told my dealer to go ahead and let me know when it arrives
