2 - I rarely use my phone while driving.
3 - I can't imagine taking the time to plug in/out every time I got in/out of the X5 except when on long trips.

Just my few cents ...
1 - It significantly restricts access in the console (passenger side).
Not really, the cradle lifts up and you can get access to the console store area.
3 - I can't imagine taking the time to plug in/out every time I got in/out of the X5 except when on long trips.
The new 3G cradle is really nice, its really well engineered and makes it very easy to put the phone in and out the cradle.
4 - I don't own an iPhone (yet).
Hahaha .... sounds like you might buy one though ;-)
