As above,on my previous F15 and in Wife's Mini calls to my iPhone 6 show name of caller on drive screen (if in contacts) but not on my new F25.
Any ideas?

Mine does the same thing, yet my old E60 would display the name. We must be missing a trick here, as my Samsung Note 4 is fully synced up (i can read, or have read out my emails etc)

I also had this issue with an iPhone6
Some contacts displayed the name, and others the number.
The problem was caused by hsving "iPhone" as the field name/descriptor for the mobile number.
Once they were changed to "mobile" everything was fine.
Presumably it's one of those little BMW/Apple software idiosyncrasies.

You need to edit your Contacts data in the iPhone.
The Label associated with the mobile number needs to say "mobile" NOT "iPhone"
I'll post a screen shot tonight if you need it

I haven't had a chance to play with the settings in the car and on the phone yet, but i can't believe we don't get caller id on our phone contacts. If i do a search for a particular person using the iDrive trackball - it works, therefore it has to be a setting that we're missing?
