The best you can do is to properly config your phone and iDrive with Bluetooth.


You can receive emails and texts on the iDrive screen.

But, you need to kill and restart email app every time you enter your car. Texts don't require a reset of the app.

Properly configured, you will see a small icon of an envelope on most iDrive screens indicating you have new mail or new text.

You will never get an audible for email or texts.
Awful; more dangerous to constantly check your phone due to this.
