apparently all navigation equipped BMW's starting with September production will not only read emails via Bluetooth but they'll stream audio via Bluetooth, show the photo tags you have assigned to your phonebook contacts, show album covers from your music collection, etc. And they'll do this for iPhones, etc., not just Blackberry's.
