Anybody got any instructions on getting email to come up on the idrive? I have texts displaying but I'm not able to reply through the idrive.

Email is a pig. Its something like, have email open, connect to car (via usb), shut email down, open up Connected Drive app. All new emails will show. But they only show as the message icon. And nothing - messages or email get marked read on the device.

Unlike my old HTC one where the icon in iDrive was different depending on if I had an email or sms, plus it marked them read, and I could view older ones, not just ones that arrived while connected.

Sort it out Apple and BMW - massively behind on interoperability.
