Yes - you can! It is the setting that you need to enable on your iPhone - under settings/bluetooth, go into Devices, click on right blue arrow for your BMW XXXXX connection, and enable "Show Notifications". When text messages arrive, you will see the envelop icon, and can read the message under Telephone/Messages menu.

Try this...

Start playing your iTunes in the X5 by going to external sources and then choosing your iPhone. While it is playing exit back to the home screen or whatever screen your Pandora app is on your phone. Then open Pandora(do nothing with the idrive) and press play(in the app on your phone) whatever is playing in the X5 should now be replaced with whatever you chose in the Pandora app.
