To use the above options you need:
1. Any model
2. Any model
3. Only with Professional Nav
4. Only with Extended Bluetooth/USB
5. Only with Extended Bluetooth/USB

1. Playlists:Yes (Tricky?), Album art:No
2. Playlists:Yes, Album art:No
3. Playlists:Yes, Album art:Yes
4. Playlists:Yes, Album art:Yes, 2 phones active (for calls) at the same time
5. Playlists:Yes, Album art:? Probably not im guessing, 2 phones active (for calls) at the same time
Having just taken delivery of an F30 328i with NBT but without extended connectivity, I appear to have a completely different experience to the above.

As I posted in the Australia sub-forum (http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=848005). I seem to be able to play back audio from my iPhone 5 / iPod Touch without the Y cable. In fact I am able to use the white Apple cable, and album art appears as well. This is different from other peoples experiences on this and other forums.

Just to re-iterate, I do not have 6NL/6NK options. This can be seen in the below video where there is clearly no bluetooth streaming functionality. Looking up the VIN confirms that extended connectivity has not been optioned.
