To connect Bluetooth in a BMW 5 Series, use the Communication tab in the iDrive menu and pair your smartphone.
Start by making sure that your smartphone has Bluetooth enabled.
Now, use the iDrive menu and choose:
  • Communication
  • Manage mobile devices
  • Connect new device.
Now that pairing mode is activated, you should be able to see the BMW Bluetooth name on your phone. Tap to begin pairing.
If you get stuck, try checking the owner’s manual for tips.
