Did your car come equipped with the BMW Apps feature? I have a 2012 740Li equipped with BMW Apps and my iPhone 5s performs some (but not all) office functions via iDrive. For example, I'm able to read incoming SMS messages. Additionally, using the BMW Connected app feature, I'm able to access my calendar to see upcoming meetings, who has been invited to them, directions, etc. It's actually pretty cool.

Try downloading the BMW Connected app from the App Store then launching it after connecting your iPhone to your car's USB port:

I also send addresses for navigation from my iPhone directly to my car's iDrive by using the My BMW Remote app:

Enjoy!
