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.

I tried this and managed to send the contacts across, but oddly the car kit will only display the contacts for a few seconds after turning the ignition on then defaults back to 'Phone book empty'. It's almost seems like the contacts are on the ULF but because it cannot verify them with the phone when connected then it removes them as turning the ignition off and back on again will display the contacts again for a few seconds before losing them again.
I'm using a 5th Gen ULF with Nokia X6 with latest firmware with all the phone contacts stored in the phone and none in the sim. I tried transferring a few to the sim card to see if it made any difference but had no effect.
I've given up with this at the moment and returned to my reliable Nokia 5310 which connects perfectly and displayed all contacts immediately. I'm wondering if the later gen ULF's would fair any better but don't want to waste the money, if it makes no difference.
I love it when manufacturers brings out '
new, improved technology' which works worse than the previous models.
Still, thanks to everyone for the previous info in this post as otherwise I would've struggled to get this far.
