The 500s of that year can connect to bluetooth to make phone calls only. But there's a USB and aux port right next to each other in the glove box, so with something like this you can play music through the car stereo over bluetooth.
I use this in my ‘08 and it’s an absolute godsend.

All of the aftermarket Android units have junk audio quality and as of late there still isn't a fix for it. I use the tunai firefly bluetooth adapter and my phone connects immediately without having to do anything but press play. It's not car play or anything but certainly better than having to connect each time.
I had one of these for a while, but the buttons and the charging were annoying me. And then the battery started expanding (from the hot cold of the car, I assume) so I bought one of these. Connects instantly, does one thing and one thing well. A little more pricey but definitely worth it IMO

In all seriousness though, it does seem like the top two results will do what you want:
one
two
This is in my ‘11 335i and it works great. I also have a mpow noise reducer and a USB hub for charging this and my phone.

Then you’ll want a Tunai Firefly. They’re only $28 but I’m unsure if you’ll retain steering wheel controls.
Want a cleaner setup ? Get this Bluetooth receiver that connects to the AUX inputs (with an add'l 3.5mm-to-RCA cable).
This works VERY good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HDO66NK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Im currently looking at this but itll be a while before i go home to get it. So i dont know how good it is but it claims to solve all my problems

Post Removed so I'm pasting it here as sub suggested:
I just got a Samsung UN50RU7100 TV. Only audio output options are Bluetooth, "TV Speaker" and "Digital Audio Out (Optical)". I want to connect my old B&W DM330s.
Considering either:
A) Getting an optical to RCA adapter and then an amplifier and then converting the loose speaker wires to RCA (https://www.amazon.ca/Techole-Converter-192kHz-Aluminum-Converter-Headphone/dp/B07XMLGXFD/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=optical+to+rca&qid=1574355994&sprefix=optical+to+&sr=8-4) (https://www.amazon.ca/Bluetooth-Preamplifier-Headphone-Amplifier-Audio/dp/B07TJS2DBT/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?keywords=amplifier&qid=1574357280&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&smid=ADPE7GPX91ORE&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE5S1lPWE9IUFlDSUcmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2ODcxMTBVOUdPWVJTWlVKOUQmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDQzNTA0OVlUODBIT1ozNUxPWCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl) (https://www.amazon.ca/Haokiang-Speaker-Terminal-Connector-Adapter/dp/B07FQ7TCMS/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=speaker+wire+to+rca&qid=1574357340&sr=8-4)
B) use the same amplifier and speaker wire adapters as A but instead of optical use a Bluetooth device (https://www.amazon.ca/TUNAI-Firefly-Smallest-Bluetooth-Receiver/dp/B01HDO66NK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=bluetooth+receiver&qid=1574357436&sprefix=bluetooth+receiber&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEySzZBVUdaVldSSEVUJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTczMDc1SVBBSlpaUFdNTlBMJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA3NzEwNzQxTjk2MzQzR0c0MzlIJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=)
Which option should I go for? Will I lose sound quality going Bluetooth? Is there a better way to do this I haven't thought of? Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers.
I use this.

No because the SSS's USB seems to be for content only (unless someone else corrects me).
That BT unit is for computers and you will more than likely need extra drivers too - which your SSS will probably never have.
If you want to add BT to this SSS you need one that they have for cars where the USB is used for power but has a AUX/line out (and will connect to the line on your SSS). Pick a BT adapter to AUX that allows charging and playback at the same time and then plug it into the USB port to get power, and plug the line out into the line in on the SSS.
I would try this one as it seems it needs no charging => it's using power from the USB (https://www.amazon.com/Firefly-Bluetooth-Receiver-Smallest-Streaming/dp/B01HDO66NK/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=bluetooth+aux+car+usb&qid=1558748622&s=gateway&sr=8-3)
If your USB is right next to your AUX, I'd highly recommend the Firefly (https://www.amazon.com/TUNAI-Firefly-Smallest-Bluetooth-Streaming/dp/B01HDO66NK). It's strictly audio, and lets you connect to that for audio and your car for calls. It's what I use in a 2013 Buick (probably a similar setup to yours) and it works beautifully. Then you can of course just use a normal USB-C car charger. Also, it's so small it just stays hidden in the center console and automatically connects whenever you start your car up.
I'm using one of the below units. If you have USB and an aux in, it's a great way to do it. I have found this unit pairs extremely quickly. Track steering wheel controls don't do anything but the volume ones work fine (as makes sense).
