Thanks for the suggestions. I still can not get the pairing to occur. I cleared my old phone off the M5's list of paired phones so it has no pair phones. I started the pairing command on the M5 and then started the search command on the Storm. The storm found the M5's bluetooth and a screen came up and asked for the pin number so I put in 0000 and hit the return key. The M5 then asked me to comfirm the number so I put in 0000 with the i drive into the M5. From this point neither the Storm or the M5 asked for anything else and after 20 to 30 seconds both the Storm and the M5 said that pairing was unsuccesful. Am I missing something, such as a setting on the phone or in the car? Neither Verizon or BMW wants to be very helpful.
Strange, that should work. That's how I paired my Verizon Storm to the 06 M5.
Was the bluetooth module in the M5 ever replaced?

My Ride: 07 550 i, mystic blue, black leather, cold weather package, nav, sport, shades, bags, rear heat, V1 hardwired.

07 997 Turbo Cabrio
I paired the POS Storm in my 07 550i, and found it to be very finicky. My suggestions:
Clear all old phones out of idrive
Make sure the storm is set to always discoverable.
Make sure that when pairing that you enter the PIN in the idrive, and then kick the cursor down to the ENTER.
And of course one more interesting discovery about the storm is how far away you can be from the car and still held by the blue tooth. My wife followed me to the service center a few weeks ago, with her driving the BMW and it captured my phone from almost three car lengths away!
