I have a 2005 BMW 325i. My Nexus 4 has never been able to sync my contacts over bluetooth to my car, although it is able to pair and connect just fine for the audio connection. I was hoping that the Kitkat update would fix this problem, but no such luck. (The display on my car radio simply says: "Phonebook Empty.") It did ask for permission to look at my contacts. I did click "OK".

I searched the forums for some information and was able to find the thread for the EVO which seems to have the same issues, but nothing for the Nexus 4.

Does anybody have a solution or can you kindly point me to a thread/link to look at?

Thanks for your help.
 
I should have added that this is not a problem with the BMW bluetooth system. I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Light and a Sprint Nexus S 4G, both of which syncs just fine with my car as far as the contacts go.
 
One time, while solving and issue with my BT on my Nexus 4, I saw a BT blacklist that had the word BWM along with other manufacturers. Maybe that has to do with your issue.
Check inside your phone: /system/etc/bluetooth/auto_pair_devlist.conf
maybe the BT address of your car is there.
