I have been running IOS 6 on my iPhone 4S, and can get emails & Messages (SMS) on my iDrive, can read them when stationery or play them while driving, no need for cradle and no need for BMW Apps.

The problem with the iPhone 5 will be getting an Apps cradle if you have BMW Apps, it will take BMW 6 months to produce one. So I think I will stick with my iPhone 4S.

PS. If the iPhone gets any bigger it might not fit in the centre consol.
