When can we expect BMW to introduce the adapters so that a bluetooth capable phone can be used in E60 series? I have a Motorola V60 cell phone. Since it is not a bluetooth enable phone I assume that I will have to get another cell phone to be able to use it with my 545i in an hands free mode. Any info on what phones are bluetooth compatible?

The bluetooth option (#644 at purchase) is scheduled for availability in Europe in late 2003 but will not make it to the US until fall 2004. The reason for the delay in the US is incompatibility between BMW Assist (SOS feature and download of service data to BMW) feature which is standard in the US and the bluetooth car kit. BMW is aware of the issue and committed to resolving it (they claim that cars produced after Sept 2004 will be bluetooth/BMW Assist compatible.
The question is what about those cars produced before 9/04. BMWNA doesn't know yet if a retrofit kit will be made available.
The bluetooth kit is composed of 2 parts. The bluetooth interface (this is a small box that connects to the cars pre-wiring and data systems so you can control the phone via Idrive/steering wheel...) and a craddle that provides charging power to your phone and antenna signal).
The kit will provide full support a limited number of phones (including SonyEricsson T610, Siemens S55 and Nokia 6310) and limited support (no craddle) to older phones (SonyEricsson T68 and Nokia 8910).
