Apple iPhone integration

[marcesq]

Hello All - Just took delivery on my first BMW, a 2011 X5 35d, which seems to be quite popular with all the rebates going around. I love it so far and signed up for a year on the "BMW Search" thing, which seems like it could come in handy.

I heard rumors that the iPhone offers advanced connectivity and some different features (as opposed to an Android phone or Blackberry) when paired with the iDrive system. However, I can't seem to find anything about it.

Does anyone know if the iPhone offers an advanced interface or further features when paired to iDrive? Or is it just the same as any other phone (or an iPod depending on which function you are talking about)?

Thanks
