Any idea how to get emails + test messages to show up?

Text messaging works quite well. The key is you need to go into the telephone settings in iDrive and enable Office. Then go in to the iPhone itself tap on the arrow on the Bluetooth connection, and turn both of the options in there for notifications on. That should get you going.
Email is a bit more tricky. Unfortunately, every time you start the car you need to go into email settings on the iPhone and change the number of notifications just to wake the phone up and get it to reconnect to iDrive.
One major thing that gets overlooked is this: In order for the iPhone to make a notification sound for incoming texts in the car you need to have Bluetooth audio turned off. If its on, you won't hear a sound telling you that you have a message.
