BMW & Blackberry Office Integration

So I just picked up my 2011 135i on Friday, and the car is sickkk. Fast and Fun doesn't even begin to describe it. Pics to go up soon. Well, when i first set it up, I paired up my Blackberry Torch and instantly, my emails and texts appeared on the idrive and it read my everything back to me. A couple of days later and its not seeing my messages. It keeps telling me I have no new messages and i know that's not the case.

The technology in this car is unbelievable. The ride is insane and I hate that im not driving it as we speak. I know there's not many people out there with this connecteddrive system (at least in the US) but any advise would certainly help.

Let me know!!!

Drooling....I have the new drive on my order, can not wait. 1.5 weeks to go!

Not too many people with the new idrive yet. I have an iPhone, so I won't get the texts or emails...I think.

Hope you work it out. Did you call your CA?

So hang on, you can actually read emails and txt messages on iDrive? Does this ONLY work with Blackberries? My cell contract is due up soon, perhaps I should get Blackberry?

It is a september post build. I have to get back to dealership by weeks end. Could also be the blackberry with an issue. The torch is kind of glitchy although a great all around phone. Connected drive is awesome and will have it back up working shortly. I don't think you will be able to upgrade but I'm not positive. You need a blackberry with os 6.

The car is still unbelievably fun to drive and soon enough it will be reading my emails to me as I shift gears with that powerful 6speed.

Was a blackberry glitch. Once the updated OS6 came out, integration works perfectly. Now, only if i had perfect driving weather everyday of the year.

ConnectedDrive has been working with the iDrive since 2008, what you want is the Office interface and that so far cannot be retrofitted by any dealer. Several aftermarket retrofits are being developed, though...

Blackberry Setup in 135i Conv

I attempted to get my 9700 to work but head that only the 9100 pearl works on the 135i. Any luck with getting the Office to work on any other blackberry phone?
