Two recent MediaBridge updates were released a short while ago:

BMW MB-1000/1500
Version: 3378
Release date: 11-03-10

Changes and improvements
---------------------------
-fixed intermittent wake-up bug introduced in update version 3346

-when switching away from USB memory playback shuffle is now deactivated

-removed undesired stop occurring at the end of the song in USB memory
playback triggered by a phone call or mode cycle

-----------------------------
* FIRMWARE RELEASE HISTORY *
-----------------------------

BMW MB-1000/1500
Version Number: 3346
Release date: 10-26-10

Changes and improvements
---------------------------
- USB mode remains active even if USB drive is detached. This eliminates the step of
having to select USB as active device after connecting USB memory or iPod/iPhone.
- USB memory playback resumes from the beginning of the last song. This playback position
is reset if a different drive is connected, or if the last song playing is moved or deleted,
and/or its path is changed. Adding or removing other songs without altering the path of the
last playing song will still resume playback.
- Fixed Sirius memorization that became inadvertently broken with update 3184
- Text announcement fix to avoid spelling out of "ALL ARTIST," etc msgs.
- Steering wheel phone controls updated: Voice Button Short Push = PickUp/HangUp,
Voice Button Long Hold = Voice Command (where supported by the phone).

Question : I'm thinking of putting this in my Mom's E53 with Nav and CD Changer to add sirius and because the current iPod solution (tape adapter wedged in behind wood trim) sucks. She's not the most tech-y person though, so what would you do with Bluetooth so she can keep the phone book and dial/answer functions she's used to, just disable it on MediaBridge and use the BMW system? Will that be all messed up with the iPhone plugged in (though she usually uses a nano anyway)

No need to spend the extra money on Bluetooth if you are not going to use it. Simply choose the MB1000 kit.
