Unfortunately, I don't have a part number - after I got the estimated cost, it kind of put me off <_<
Next time I am at the dealer's I'll try to get the information for you.

Hi e60525d,
Why should ny build date (Feb 04) be a problem concerning retrofit of Bluetooth ?
Kind regards

PS My problem is that I tried the Bluetooth option in a German car (with Navi Buss.) back in Nov 2003, and it works fantastic, I really would like to get it....

Guys, I don't see why money should be spend on Bluetooth retrofit. The bluetooth option #640. If you have that then you can pair up to 4 phones but use one at a time.
The bluetooth retrofit is pricy, it only charges the phone and connects it to the shark fin.
I have seen variable phones paired to E60s and it is working just fine. With these new cell phones you don't need to charge the phone everytime you enter the car. Therefore not buying a bluetooth retrofit is okay and you can choose any phone that is compatible with E60s to pair it up.
My point is that these retrofits you are installing under the armrest are not a requirement for pairing the phone. Many of you already know this but a lot of people don't know that this is only an accessory.

This is true. If you choose for the blootooth option the cradle in the armrest i not needed. My dealer told me I could have the cradle under the armrest but it is only there to charge my telephone.

Sorry, but You missed the point: When I ordered my car the Bluetooth Option #644 was NOT available when You ordered Navi Prof. So I chose the #640 in the hope that it would ease a retrofit option...

plindegaard: I agree with you that your nokia will not pair becuase it is not compatible.
But with all do respect, buying a new cell phone that is compatible and will pair is cheaper than spending money on a retrofit for your Nokia. There are newer nokia models that will pair, and they are not that expensive.

Dear desert530. The problem is not the Nokia 6310i, the Bluetooth on it works when I connect it to my PC or my PDA. The problem is that my E60 is NOT equipped with the hardware and software needed to use Bluetooth, and there is not - to my knowledge - a retrofit option to by from BMW...
