Issue with SMS in iDrive - message sender <unknown>

Background: I have wireless charging w/ enhanced BT (6NW) with an iPhone X paired to the vehicle.

Issue: When a new SMS is received on my iPhone X, my iDrive notifies me of the new message successfully. However, when I click into the message, it lists the sender as <unknown>

Attempted Resolution: I have tried deleting and pairing the phone again as well as resyncing contacts--neither of which has helped. I can confirm both the Sync Contacts and Show Notifications options are turned on in bluetooth settings on my phone.

Has anyone else experienced and/or solved a similar issue with text messages in iDrive?

Have the same issue in my 19 x5. It's an idrive 7 issue I believe. I've just started to use CarPlay

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll have to test that out until they correct this
