I could do without Technology package, BMW APPS, BMW Assist, etc, as long as I could use Bluetooth audio from my Iphone. Is the Ipod Cable included now? Im a bit confused.
Option 6NH - Handsfree kit with USB interface - is now standard for 328i/335i in US... but it's not clear if this supports the A2DP profile for music.
Option 6NF - Music Interface for Smartphones is also in the German document, but is not shown as an option in the US listings I have seen.
In addition, there is 6NR - BMW Apps, and 6NL - BMW Assist
BMW Assist (6NL) and Nav/Tech Package (ZTP) are required to get BMW Apps (6NR)

I am pretty sure you can use the iPod USB cable for music without any extra options, but not sure about Bluetooth via A2DP, but I sure hope so since that would enable Android phones as well.

BMW Apps adds special app display from iOS devices, like Web Radio, Facebook, Twitter, iPod, Pandora functions.
