Apparently they stopped including that in 2016.

They stopped including it on later 2016 builds - I think Mar 16 builds and later.

I finally got my txt messages to show up on my Mini's main screen while driving - I had to go into settings, bluetooth on my iPhone and set it to forward txt messages to my car, but there's still something I don't understand about the car's communications system.

I noticed that I can read my text messages from within the phone section of the Mini's main screen, or the office section.

My motoring advisor said he didn't know why Mini had both phone and office in the main menu if they had the same functions.

Does anybody know whether there's any difference in viewing my messages via phone or via office?

I like this functionality a lot because I don't want to ever pick up my phone while I am driving, and the ability to use txt to speech to read myself an important message while on the road could prove to be very useful.

With some Android phones, you can also see calendar and email info in Office. For iPhones, it will just show phone book and texts, which as you've noticed, also show up in Telephone.

notifications won't go through the stereo unless your phone is not on silent and you are listening to BT audio. If you're listening to another source, the only way to get notification sounds would be from the phone and again, the phone can't be on silent - sounds have to be turned on.
