Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Ah nice pair of cars, I have same.
Your 2005 4.8is comes standard w/ Bluetooth and BMW Assist. If you do not know your BT PassKey code (delaer probably didn't give you the card), you can find out by going to the back and pulling the left panel out, then pull the plastic panel on the bottom out. The BT module should be there with a sticker that shows the PK Code. You'll need this code to pair your phone.
On your 2003 M3, you can buy the BT retrofit kit from EAS
http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...roducts_id=299 for $750. Took me 30 minutes to install on my M3. Mostly plug and play.
