As for bluetooth audio, it depends if the Bluetooth chip in the car without the enhanced bluetooth option has A2DP compatibility built in, OR if BMW simply enables A2DP streaming when you purchase the BMW Assist w/ Enhanced BT option. Either way, I don't see them adding bluetooth audio without having purchased that option.

And yes, it likely won't be a free update to enable BMW Apps, but I'm just saying that if they come out with support for other platforms (say Spotify for example), if you already have the BMW Apps option, then maybe they'll add that in with a software update.

In the iDrive menu, there is a Software Update menu under Settings, but it doesn't download OTA with BMW Assist or BMW Online - you still need to have that update file on a flash drive.
