I have the same exact setup, and it works, but the reality is the Office function pretty much sucks. It's like looking at an MS-DOS screen from 30 years ago. No color. No HTML. No support for images or attachments. I assume this is due to limitations with the Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) it uses, but whatever the reason, it renders the Office function useless. I end up just using my phone, and not the iDrive. The internet on iDrive is also completely useless too, but I digress...

I also have the BMW Connected Drive App side-loaded on my Z10. I wish there was a cable for it like there is for the iPhone, as that would be a whole lot better than using the Z10's hotspot and an iPod.
