Can be very frustrating, I know. Try this. Worked for me. Got it from
michaelw9 on bimmerfest

1) Turn car on but not the engine on (position doesn't matter)
2) Press the R/T button just once
3) Radio says "Activate (pause) Phone (pause) Activate (pause) Phone" ...
4) Go to your phone, Do search for new device
5) Phone will find BMW##### (last 5 = last 5 of VIN)
6) Pair, follow directions for your phone, etc

The radio will never ever say "Bluetooth Pairing" as the manual tells you it will. You don't have to hold anything for any number of seconds.
