iphone and the E70

So I got the ipod hookup for the X5, but I am also (hoping) to get an iphone on the 29th (or there abouts).

Does anyone think (or have reason to think otherwise) that the iphone will not work BOTH with the bluetooth phone feature and the ipod feature at the same time?

That would be killer if they did! If not, I suppose I could always use the nano for the music hookup. I'm assuming that blue tooth is blue tooth, and that the iphone should work with the BMW's voice controls, or as that too much of an ASSumption? ;)

we will find out friday...I'll let you know at 6pm

Please go to www.wireless4bmw.com/phones2 for info on iPhone compatibility. It has the following info:

BMW welcomes the new Apple iPhone.
It's the kind of innovative approach you would expect from BMW:
In 2004, we were the first to integrate the iPod into the car and have customers
take full control of their music on the road. So it seemed only logical to be the first
to ensure iPhone owners have the same ability to enjoy their music, plus the
added benefits of Bluetooth

® hands-free calling across our model line. We are
pleased to announce that BMW owners can use their iPhones in this way from
day one.
Please see the detailed compatibility information below for known issues.

The iPhone will work as a Bluetooth® enabled cell phone on every BMW Assist-equipped model
with Bluetooth® hands-free calling produced 10/04 or later except 7 Series, which received this
