Was at Park Lane BMW in London today to drop in with a friend who was submitting his order. The sales person stated that just this week all new builds can now order BT + Prof Nav and BMW AG will accept the order now. Anyone else in the UK or elsewhere in Europe hearing the same thing? (I know I heard this from a dealer, but Park Lane is actually owned by BMW GB so I tend to trust info here more so than from US dealers...)
Nothing heard on US cars with BT+NAV+SAT+ASSIST yet!

Let me ping the sales person via email on Voice ...
Also they had *NO* word of a retro yet for BT + Pro Nav, only that factory spec'd options are now possible for this combo.

I am located in Belgium as well and my dealer told me that Pro Nav & BT combination was going to be available around production week 26 (I guess that should be now)? He told me this when taking delivery of my car 4 weeks ago. If I had known this sooner I would of delayed my order to get it, but back then they told me that it wouldn't be available before September and that was too long of a wait for me.

Fred, Voice control in europe (or maybey only UK) doesn't work, BMW at Bracknell say they are working on it and hope to have a software update sometime in september. They THINK it should be a simple software update but I believe it will become a separate option and cost in the UK after mid june (along with the ?250 price hike in service inclusive pack )
Luckily I ordered at the old price but it remains to be seen if the voice control package is addable later.
I know I certainly paid for it with my Pro-Nav

I've been curious for awhile... What comes with Service Inclusive? Thanks. That would suck if the queen's subjects (maybe all Europe?) needed to pay for voice control. That wouldn't generate a lot of goodwill for bimmer fans.
