Dave,
Not necessarily! Most US spec BMWs of this era came pre-wired for the phone from the factory, so you'll have either the DB25 (large, black, printer cable looking connector), the 26 pin SES, or the 54 pin black connector.
If your car is not pre-wired for the phone, you should really consider an aftermarket mic (which is still plug and play, minus the wire routing), otherwise you're going to have to rip the interior apart to wire in 6 signal wires from the BlueBus to the radio and microphone, and that's just not worth it.
Thanks!
