A few tricks that helped me after struggling for an hour:
1. Turn on "messages" under Telephone > Bluetooth settings in iDrive.
2. In the iPhone go to Settings > Messages and make sure notifications are on, change the number of notifications from what it's at now, choose 'alert' style, choose 'show on screen'.
3. In the iPhone go to Settings > Bluetooth and click on the BMW link and make sure "show on screen" is selected.
4. The thing that finally did it for me was to connect via the white Apple USB cable and the Connected app. Sent and received a text message hard-wired. That allowed the iPhone and iDrive to "see" each other that first time. Since then, no issues wirelessly.
Note: The iPhone must go to sleep during your testing. You can't hit the off button and force it. Have to let it sit (set to 1 minute in Settings) until it goes full-black, then send a test text from another phone.
Note: Mail is not working so far (anyone?), only text messages.
