True office email and SMS is not available with iOS, however Notifications of SMS / iMessages IS available in iOS 11 which is different.

You can't natively response to an SMS via the CAR, but you can long hold on the voice button to get Siri and use Siri eyes free to respond to text messages.

Pair the car and phone
Go into the office menu and make sure that it's set to show the phone notifications (don't have car handy to pull exact information)
Then on the phone go into BT, and to the cars connection and make sure that show notifications is enabled.

This will push SMS notifications to the car which you can read in messages, but you can't respond in the car (hence BMW saying it's not supported).

This works just fine in iOS10 and iOS11, I have NOT upgraded to iOS12 yet to validate. I will do that update next week.
