Try this mate, it works with my x6 and my old n95

First, delete the pair on the phone and car.

Then, go into pairing mode on the car, and use the X6/N95 to find the car. Enter your pin number so the phone is paired. Don't exit pairing mode on the BMW yet.

Now on the X6/N95 go to contacts. Select about 10-15 contacts, Then go to options -> send business card -> via bluetooth. Select the BMW from the list of bluetooth devices and it'll send them across. Repeat for the rest of your contact list.

You may end up with a few duplicates in your BMW phonebook depending on whether your original contacts had multiple phone numbers or not. But it definitely works and displays incoming call name properly etc.

I tried doing the whole contacts list in one go but it failed - doing it piecemeal takes a little longer but its a one time thing.

My car is a 2003 E46 with satnav + TV + BT prep (Gen13). Anyone with a different model please report back if this procedure works.
