545i base (Bluetooth?)
On a 2005 545i, Sport Package only, no other options, is Bluetooth standard? If not, is it available as a dealer installed option?

For BT to work in an 04 without upgrading the hardware, it must be built after the first week of March 2004. If it is, BT can be activated via the software update process. BMW will charge you for this update.
If your car is a pre March 04 build, then you will likely need to replace the TCU and reprogram which will cost you between $1500 and $2500 depending on the dealer's generosity.

It's an unsold new car, so I assume it is late production, but I don't know the date.
