[Putzo]

I have viewed an e-mail on the iDrive display screen once, so I know it works. It's not something I would do often, however. SMS, I can't say one way or the other as I've never tried. When you get a new message (e-mail for sure, not sure about SMS), you get a message waiting indicator on the iDrive, and that's the feature I use the most. I check messages on the phone itself once I have pulled over.

I will say that getting the Z10 fully paired with the Z4 was probably the most painful time I've had pairing any phone with any car. Not sure why.
