Update & add office/extended bluetooth to idrive

I recently purchased a 2011 550i it's an amazing car, however i am not able to stream bluetooth audio from my iPhone 5 (only phone calls). I do not have the office option, is it possible to code the car to add these features or does it require separate hardware? Also is it possible to update the look of the 2011 idrive to the 2013 version? Ill attach a pic of my current idrive.

iPhone 5 and Office

Have you visited this BMW update page?
I don't think the iPhone 5 provides "office" capability >>>

I am not talking about compatibility, i'm talking about installing the software to my idrive.

I only receive SMS, not emails... It's an iPhone 4S but this should not be the reason, as it is running the latest iOS version. As of now, my only frustration with the car is that I haven't been able yet to set up my MobileMe and/or my Gmail accounts.
