For F30, only 2NH is needed for BMW Live as radio professional is already standard.

I'll buy that. In theory, all that should be needed for BMW Live is a screen (CID), and a Bluetooth Module with PAN Service. I just checked, and since 6NH (Not 2NH) does support tethering (BT PAN), it seems all that is needed for BMW Live is present.

This new BMW Live is currently only available in F20 & F30, all other models need nav+combox for this feature.
Goto page 18, for 6AL it said not with either of the nav packages. There are no further requirements as UK-spec have 2NH as standard already.

This I don't buy exactly, but maybe I am just hung up on on the terminology. When you spec in one of the Nav Packages like ZMB or ZMP, you loose 6AL BMW Live because in those packages 6NH Bluetooth is replaced with 6NL Bluetooth with Telematics, which includes the Combox Telematics, and with that comes 612 BMW Assist. 612 BMW Assist and 6AL BMW Live can not coexist. It is one or the other. So, with 612 BMW Assist, BMW Includes 616 BMW Online to replace 6AL BMW Live. The two offer some similar features like primitive News, Weather, Google Local Search, and Applications (e.g. Yelp, Fuel Prices; Not 6NR BMW Apps); however, 6AL BMW Live also includes Google Panoramio, Google Street View, and Internet Browser functionality, none of which is available with 616 BMW Online. Given they are fundamentally different in that 616 BMW Online uses the GSM module / SIM card in the Combox for data, whereas 6AL BMW Live uses Internet Over Bluetooth (Tethering / PAN) and your cell phone carrier for data, I would not consider 616 BMW Online the "new BMW Live", and I would argue the lack of an Internet Browser means it does not include "Internet".

I also assume I have to get my phone set up for internet tethering? On my mobile contract thats extra.
I'll have a go
this weekend and see if I can get BMW Live working.
Cheers.

You don't think 2NH M-Sport Brakes is required for BMW Live?
Yes, you need a phone that supports BT PAN Service and a Tethering Plan with your carrier.

It seems so assuming you have 6NH and Radio Professional. See my earlier Post here for Coding:
