Funny thing happened yesterday...my Torch kept losing the BT connection to the car without warning. I'm not sure if it was the car or the phone but it was strange.
We'll keep an eye on things and see if it was something isolated or not.
P.S. -- Moopai, as far as I know right now, my car is either on a boat or waiting for a boat. It's highly likely that pictures will be posted here when I get it...

Rudy,
Your theory was right about the problem I've been experiencing with the Torch. This thing has been bothering so much that I needed to get to the bottom of it. So last night I was comparing the configuration one-to-one with the Bold vs the Torch and found that I have one extra category on the Torch checked which I did not have on the Bold. I removed this category this morning and boom everything is working like a charm. It looks like once you download couple of hundred names to the iDrive it goes crazy and cannot figure out what you are calling.
Regarding your BT disconnect, I met with a friend today lunch, he has a 2010 335i, he complained to me about the same problem you are experiencing with his Torch, it's dropping the BT connection for no reason while with the Bold no issues! Let us know how it goes with you. You might want to re-install the OS on the Torch and see if that fixes the problem.
Regarding the pictures of the new car, why you are not going to post them on here? Is it because too many people hate the F10?
I like it, nice looking machine, I have not had the chance to drive one yet.

I was having a BT problem with my 335i. I loaded a couple of "leaked" OSes for the 9800 and finally loaded version .246. That fixed a lot of problems.
AT&T has released .246 for public consumption. I highly recommend it.

Hey guys,
You know when you've paired the phone with your car and when you start the car (or when ignition is in ON), a prompt pops up on the phone asking if you want to connect? I accidently put NO and at the same time, checked the DO NOT ASK THIS AGAIN so now that prompt doesn't come up anymore and I can't connect. How do I fix this? I checked Bluetooth settings and it says ON and under Discoverable I put YES (not sure if it's supposed to be No or 2 Minutes). I also took out the battery to reset the phone but still doesn't work.
Help please....
