The key is to have you PHONE allow it. Go to you Bluetooth list and click on the 'i' on the right. See images.

You'll get a text to the car.

Click on it.

See the text.

(In M2 I was able to have the car READ the text to me, but in the M5 it will not unless I am parked).

Turn idrive knob to highlight the number, click the knob, dial the number.

Can this be done in the other BMW's or is this exclusive to the 5s and 7s???
