530d M Sport - newbie - really scared!

Hello to all,

I've just bought my dream car, and I pick it up this Thursday. 530d M Sport Business Edition (auto/step) LCI on a late 2009 plate. (first registered 11/09).

I have a few questions and hoped you might be able to give me some advice.

I've read some really scary things online about swirl flaps breaking off and destroying engines. But have also read that its not so much of a problem with the later (LCI) models. Could someone give me some guidance please? Is it something I need to do something about? Currently scared to death and miserable; rather than happy and excited.

Also I have an iphone4 (not S), can I pair and charge my phone?

Can I use my iPod in the car? Will I be able to control it via idrive?

I guess these questions might be dependant on spec. I have the following:

Auxilliary point for auxilliary devices
BMW professional radio/CD/MP3
USB/audio interface
Bluetooth telephone preparation with telematics
BMW ConnectedDrive - Assist
BMW ConnectedDrive - Online
iDrive Controller and Display w/6.5" monitor
Navigation System Professional Multimedia

As I collect it this Thursday, is there anything else I should be looking for? the test drive went well, autobox was very smooth. No judders changing down from 2 to 1.

Many Thanks

Adam
