I've found the issue more to be with the phone than the car. The issue was repeatable on my ex's F20LCI 120i also.

The phone also never connected to my old ELM Bluetooth-ODB reader with Torque where as an old Samsung Galaxy 2 did/does.

From time to time, the phone will pair with the vehicle successfully then when I select 'media' it'll drop off the connections list, re-appear, and start functioning correctly. However, there has been times that track info hasn't displayed, or track listings in the HUD have been out of sync/repetitive.

Seems to have been fixed for the time being by flushing the bluetooth cache on the phone via:
Settings>Apps (show system)> Bluetooth > Clear Data/cache.

FWIW, there's 2 bluetooth options under system apps. I clear them both.

Wouldnt surprise me if BMW were just advancing the bluetooth firmware at the same rate of Apple releases given the large variance in versions across the android market.
