TCU needs to be replaced and the car needs to be recoded. If you have assist, and want to keep it, you will need the '05 combo unit. If you don't have assist (or if you do and don't want to keep it) you can buy the BT only module.
I went through this (I have a April '04 model)... it was a PITA and took a PUMA case to get the dealership to code the car. 10 months after I had the unit working the TCU I installed failed. BMW replaced it under warranty, but it took another PUMA case since the part number in my car (which was an '05 TCU) was for the wrong car. Finally they replaced it with a new TCU and it seems to work better than the one that failed. I added the console eject box and a secondary cell antenna, so I could have both Assist and bluetooth.
