just got my V3 today and it's not working. I have an 06 and the bluetooth is activated in the car and I set the phone to discoverable and tried to search for devices with it. NOTHING!!! How annoying.

Motorola Phones work best with BMWs Blue Tooth it seems.
I too have a V3 and V600 that has been paried with the car and they both work fine.

What service/ wireless company do you have? Yesterday I ordered a V3 from Verizon to replace my V710. I just went on the verizon website and the V3 is not even listed as working with BMW bluetooth. I guess I'll have to wait until the phone arrives tomorrrow and play with it. If anyone out there has a Razr V3 with VERIZON WIRELESS and have paired it with an e60 let me know.
Thanks,
Frank

Ghetto,
To answer your question and mine the V3 does work. It took me a couple of tries but I got 2 of them to pair.

I am looking to switch my wife's LG PM325, which we originally purchased because it has bluetooth, yet does not work well with the e60. I am looking to get her the Razr V3 from t-mobile. Can anyone confirm that this phone works well with the car?
Also, will there be an issue if we have 2 bluetooth phones in the car simultaneously? I have a treo 650 and wifey will have the Razr v3. Obviously we won't be able to make phone calls at the same time, but I want to make sure the car can alternate between the two if we both make or receive calls in the car at different times.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...
