Sort of a clunky system but for the life of me can't figure out (after paying the yearly subscription) how the 'apps' show up on this? Any advice appreciated

Download the apps to the iPhone first, launch bmw connected on the iPhone and then in the connected drive you can access the installed apps like pandora or bmw timer.

There are multiple components, but yes it is clunky. It sort of depends on which aspect you are looking to use (ie, Remote features or Connected).

There used to be two separate apps, BMW Remote and ConnectedDrive. Since, they have been combined. But, for the ladder, you must be physically connected via OEM or high quality cable.

For email setup, though slow, see here.
