BMW currently will sync email ONLY with Blackberry and Droid, NOT with Apple (whether an I phone 4 4S OR 5). BMW is well aware of this as an issue given the number of I phone users. No fix.................yet.
Hmmm... I've gotten emails to show up on my screen before. You have to enable emails to show in notification settings I believe. Try to turn everything on for email notification first. Then go to your Bluetooth connection and show notifications like the image 5serieshb shows.

Hey rob, I believe you have all the settings on. You don't need to do anything on the car. The "show notifications" option is what I meant by turning in text. Bad wording on my part. I'll try to take a pic of my settings later today.
