I don't have a problem streaming through USB or bluetooth (I don't mind the battery drain, as I don't use my phone for work). I just like the "cordless" aspect of bluetooth. Plus, I'd really like to stream Pandora thru the BMW Apps (haven't heard/seen much about this, but it sounds interesting). But are you saying that you do have the Enhanced Bluetooth and USB and are still experiencing this problem?

i think you need enhanced BT for BT steaming...
it might depend on the phone too... i have issues with BT streaming on iphone5 but works fine on USB

The dealer I'll be working with has a '14 228i in stock, so I'll try it out with that while I'm up there this weekend. I have a Galaxy SIII at the moment, but I plan on switching to an iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 within a month or two.
And bluetooth is standard for the 2015 model year, if I'm not mistaken (looked into this quite a bit). The "Enhanced Bluetooth and USB" just provides some extra features for navigation and BMW apps and the like, from what I can tell.
Hopefully I won't have a problem. It'd be really disappointing for my first Bimmer, especially seeing as how you can get a Ford for half the price that has no problems with this sort of thing. :/
