I did a search and the results point you to the 'wetpaint...' Something or other website that is no longer.

I have an e90 with idrive and to my surprise I can somewhat monitor the looming failure of my water pump via a hidden menu that someone can help me unveil - that's excellent news.

If someone has an idrive step-by-step, please share.

Never heard of that, and I would be interested to know as well.

As an aside, I monitor mine with the torque app on a cheap $25 android phone with a $7 wireless OBD ELM327 ebay connector. I can monitor a bunch of other things on the torque app such as boost pressure, etc.

So when you're running your ELM327 tool, it's connected via bluetooth.

I use my phone to steam music while driving. Is the iphone capable of sustaining two simultaneous bluetooth connections?

You need the wifi version of the elm327 for any ios device. Look on ebay.

Bluetooth elm327 only works on android.

.....And the torque app only works on android, not iphone. I am an iphone user and that is why I went out and bought the cheapest no plan android phone I could find. At Target, it is the Kyocera Event for $25 bucks. Or you can ask a friend for an old android they don't use anymore.
