Yep, BT is included for 2005 models, no charge. For 2004 models the dealer could (or acctually should) only charge an hour or labor.

Don't pay a penny. You really should find another dealer if that's what they think of you.

You should read your contract and make sure they didnt throw in any other crap. And when you pick up your car, dont go for any on the extra gimicks, I.E. paint wax protection

This dealer seems shady.... I bet there is fine print which says you have to pay him $100 not to take a dump on your hood.

Got SA's reply. Very disappointing!

1st reply when asked BT activation;
TO INITIATE THE BLUE TOOTH SYSTEM THERE IS A $300 CHARGE.

2nd reply after my big complaint;
BECAUSE OF YOUR REQUEST, WE WILL WAVE ANY CHARGE FOR BLUE TOOTH INITIATION.
He does not answer any my points. I already sent my official complaint letter thru priority email at OC site. Let's see how BMWNA replies.

Am I missing something? They said they would charge you, you complained and now they will wave any charge. What is the problem? Just get your BT initialized and move on.

Tell them that you charge a $300 checkwriting fee before you will upcap a pen to sign the deal. See how they respond.
