As far as i know, no. It seems the bluetooth connection of the OEM iDrive "steals" the voice button. You can use "hey siri / hey google" or long press the idrive controller. Maybe you give a try for calls with the mmi box and use the auto calibrate option during a call (ex. mailbox) and use a litte bit louder volume. Change the volume -/+ as long as the result from the auto calibrate is 100 %.

Works for me without issue (no echo) since weeks, never used OEM bluetooth again.

The only point, you can not use the shortcuts 1 to 8 for phone numbers and some phone functions on the cluser.
