Maybe reboot iDrive a few times in that period for good measure as well. It should appear in the Media menu eventually ... and then the fun connecting it to your Spotify account can begin ...
Thanks - got it! So I assume this is only applicable to iDrive 6?

Ha, interesting. No idea as I am not a voluntary Android user, but a) BMW Connected Music does not rely on a smartphone, b) continues to work as of several hours ago (in fact, I just yesterday successfully switched it to a separate spare Spotify family sub-account from my regular one to keep "car music" and "life music" separated), c) iOS Spotify App v8.5.71.859 continues to work over BT in the X5.
