I have and when connected via USB for music I get a message saying I can't use the phone.

Given that Apple and BMW have got themselves together in USA, surely they have worked it so you can use the iphone for both???????

Anyone got any info/advice/experience?

When you connect the iPhone via USB it tells you somethink like "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone. Would you like to turn on Airplane mode?" Just click on NO and also the phone functionality works fine. Referring to USB interface: If you don't have the latest Y cable it won't be charged.

As someone mentioned already a snap-in adapter/cradle will be available (end of this month or early Jan). This cradle has a minor "flaw" IMHO: When you put the iPhone into this cradle you can't connect to the USB connector and thus not listen to your music.
