I've only ever seen messages come through thew new iDrive in cars equipped with "Enhanced Bluetooth". Android will read them yes.. with iPhones you just get that little envelope in the top right corner of the iDrive screen.

Easiest way to tell if your phone can get messages through iDrive is to look into your bluetooth menu on your phone and see if "send notifications" is there and able to be checked off.
