Congrats!

Edit: found the DVD ROM Nav Player. I seem to have 2003-2, 50001-0070-309. Those are the only numbers [other than the 888 phone number]. Any ideas about the version of this ROM?

There are two things to update - the maps dvd, and the navigation firmware.
The latest firmware is available at this forum and it's v28. You'll have to read the threads to try to understand about a possible issue where the navi would change from USA to Euro during the update. It's a CD image that you put on the navi system, update it and it's done.
The latest navi dvd is 2006-02 (or 2007-01 for USA). It's a DVD image that replaces the current DVD you have.

2. Does this car have Bluetooth? I am thinking it does not.

Is there any grey metal box below the navi, at the trunk? Or a menu "telephone" at the main menu?
If so, try the following:
- turn the key off and let the navi close
- press and keep pressed the speaker button on the middle console
- turn the key to position 1
- stop pressing the button after 3-4 seconds

3. The car has some kind of telephone installed [and a SOS button] however I assume I need some kind of service to enable it. Any information about this? Perhaps it can be used only as a phone [wife has T-Moble and I have Cingular].

It's called BMW assist, and it's subscription based (you'll have to pay). It's slightly different in EU and USA, so I'll let someone else explain the advantages over there.

Problem... I believe I did this myself. I put in a MP3 CD into the player hoping it would play. Bad move because now I can not eject it! On the Nav screen it says no CD and the eject button will not ROM. Crap!! So, either putting in my MP3 CD ROM has confused the unit or it was already broken.

Check the eject-dvd thread at the x3world homepage. Then try a regular music cd. Then try again other mp3 cd and see if it's an issue with that cd, or with the reader.
