My Ride: 535d Sport Carbon Black/Black Leather
Media Pack,Visibility Pack,Through Load,Logic 7,Electric Seats,Sun Protection Glass,Maple Wood,Lumbar Adj,Heated Seats,Folding Mirrors
Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'm taking delivery of a Carbon Black 535d Sport in 2 weeks. Can't wait 
There seems to be a lot of compatability problems with various handsets (even one's BMW say are compatible!) and would love to hear from anyone who has a handset that works well with Bluetooth. I would particularly like to hear from anyone that has a car they've bought very recently as date of manufacture seems to be a big part of the problem and also if anyone has a Sony Ericsson K700i (I'm not sure if that model is available in the US) as that is the handset that my network supplies that best suits my needs.

Welcome David..
I have a K700i and it is definitely not compatible. It works once, for a little while then it's over. Keeps connecting and disconnecting.
Got a 610i on order, that should be 100% compatible.
The attachment is a list of UK compatible phones. Nothing fancy there I'm afraid..

Hi I have the Siemens S65 that I consider a fancy phone. I also have the cradle. The SE K700i should also be compatible and there will be a cradle soon I heard from BMW Germany.

I have Bluetooth on my 04 e60. BT is wonderful with Nav which includes Voice Command. The Motorola V600 works well on Cingular for me. I like Motorola phones because Motorola has a long standing relationship with BMW. The new new Motorola RAZR apparently uses the same BT chips as the V600 so it should work fine. I will switch over to that phone when it comes out just because it looks cool.
