It's weird because my m2 has bluetooth music, and since Canadian cars come fully loaded with everything except transmission choice, sunroof and a few other small things your m2 should have it too.
Maybe you should check in the idrive menu if you have bluetooth music streaming enabled.

Chances are you have CarPlay then. If you have CarPlay, the car will want to sync with your phone using that and in the process disables Bluetooth options for your phone. If you don't have CarPlay then Bluetooth connectivity should work without any issues.

Follow the video posted above or have someone help you. Connecting to a phone for the first time is a short process to link and save that phone. Look through the iDrive menu in devices and follow the appropriate tasks from there. It's kind of self explanatory once you get into the menu

Also carplay connects via WiFi, and if that's disabled on your phone car play won't work.

Mention this issue to your dealer, you might get the latest software update for free. Most of the time it's related to the software or it's just needs a refresh..
I don't have Carplay, so I bought an oem snap-in adaptor and an iPhone 5 SE to stream Napster through the iDrive interface.. It's closest thing to CD quality sound. Bluetooth streaming although it's convenient, some of the audio quality is lost over a wireless signal. The technology just hasn't caught up to transferring perfect audio. A direct connection like USB or a Snap-in adaptor is best way to ensue the highest quality of audio. |

I was never able to get my Pixel 2 XL to stream music via bluetooth. I even went to the dealership, they couldn't get it working in my car or other cars they had on the lot. Calls and messages and everything else works though. I gave up and uploaded my songs to the internal hdd. But that sucks cause I have to re-import every time I add new music to my collection. My music collection is synced to my phone and all my home computers, so it would be easier if I could get bluetooth music to work.
