iphone works perfectly with the bluetooth system in my '06 X3 (no navigation, business cd stereo). i've never been able to see the signal strength bars on the stereo display with any previous phone (blackberry 8700c, motorola slvr, treo 680, nokia 6620) so i didn't expect this to show with the iphone.

now i'm just waiting for an iphone specific cradle from proclip to use with the mount i already have installed on my dash...

not sure why the iphone won't connect to your X5. but what do you mean about playing itunes? are you expecting the iphone to play music on your X5's speakers via bluetooth? if so, that's not going to happen - as far as i know, this isn't even possible with any phone. if you want to hear music on your iphone or any ipod through your X5's speaker, you need a special kit like bmw's "ipod your bmw" kit or the Dice interface.
