I'm sorta in the same boat. My car has iDrive but no bluetooth. I'm also wondering if there's a way to figure out if the car is pre-wired with bluetooth. What I don't understand is,why do I have a phone button on my steering wheel that does absolutely nothing since I don't have bluetooth??

If the production date of your car is before 03/09 then the dealer can install the OEM Bluetooth. Otherwise it cannot...

Your car is pre-wired for the same reason as above.

I thought iDrive + Premium package automatically came with Bluetooth?

Premium Package includes Bluetooth, regardless of iDrive.

Nobody here has mentioned the Premium Package, though...

What sound system do you have from factory?

$1000 sounds cheap. I'm reading other posts saying it's a lot more expensive than that -- $1500 ish. Is it only $1000?!?

It is considerably less than that, but the OP seems not willing to search.
