Best/easiest way to get bluetooth audio streaming?

So, I bought an F10 yesterday and loving it so far BUT it does lack bluetooth. I'm not in super need of handsfree but audio streaming is something I really wan't.

The car only has AUX as media in at the moment and I've been searching for the best solution. I've found everything from just a 25$ Bluetooth-AUX adapter to a complete OEM integration for 1000$+ and I'm kind of confused what to go for.

Of course I would like to pay the absolute minimum for this but I also wan't it integrated in the car with good audio quality.. I'm basically like everyone else.

The best option I've found so far is the Fiscon Pro, it's a bit pricey but I can handle it at ~400$ as it has full integration (just as OEM)
But I haven't found any reviews of it which makes me a bit unsure.
Link to the product: http://www.fiscon-mobile.eu/products/pro_bmw.php

So, help me out here! What would you do? What have you guys done? etc etc.

I'm grateful for any help!

I use a BOSE bluetooth receiver (>$80) which is APTx ready. My Iphone automatically connects to the BOSE bluetooth receiver when I'm in the car and there is an Aux out on the BOSE so you simply connect this into the AUX in inside the centre storage compartment. The BOSE receiver fits stug inside the centre storage compartment.
Sound is not bad...would be better if the iPhone had APTx connectivity like the Samsung's but for everyday listening, it's not bad at all.

What i also found was the iphone connects both to the BOSE and to the car's bluethooth at the same time. So whenever you get a call, it automatically integrates with the car's bluetooth system and music shuts off automatically. Once the call is over, then music starts back up automatically.

I found this to be the best cheapest way...although you won't be able to control music selection via the steering wheel... I just have a Belkin phone holder that fits into the front cup holder so everytime i want to play next track or select music, i can do this easily as it's just at my fingertips just in front of the gear lever...

Danm I am late to this. Hope you haven't splurged on something that didn't work out. I highly recommend Viseeo. I had it on my f30 that had no bluetooth streaming and it is amazing. It makes your car think it is connected via usb and can view/control your phone/ipod with the steering or iDrive.

The one I had needed to be plugged in to your bmw iphone adapter. I think a new one is out were it just plugs in to your usb port directly. (I haven't tried that though)
