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.

Cheers mate
I am leaving this as a last resort because once the contacts are transferred this way you are stacked with them ... I mean no update on them.
It is really annoying to have to do this with a BT 3.0 phone, exactly in the same manner as I did so time ago with a Ericsson T39m!!! probably among the first phones to have BT...it did work with ericsson all the contacts at once btw
The car is the same in both cases - E53 05 reg
