It is not possible to disable the Intel ME from the BIOS set up.
I attached the result of running
$ dmesg > dmesg.log
after booting
I rarely use bluetooth, so I keep it disabled. To automatically disable it after boot, I use rfkill in the rc.local file:
```
$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
rfkill block bluetooth
exit 0
```
that might explain what you found about it not working right? After clicking "Turn Bluetooth On" in the blueman-applet, I can connect to bluetooth speakers and play music.
