Why on earth would my car not have the bluetooth option if it just hit the states 2 weeks ago?
Did anyelse have the problem who just picked up their cars?
Does this mean my software is an old version?

Picked mine up about 3 weeks ago. Dealer didn't know how to set it up, but Bluetooth is there. You have to click the box under the communication menu to make it active, then you scroll over to phone in the same menu, and pair it with your phone while it is still in the phone menu. I couldn't get it to pair for the first couple of attempts until all of a sudden the phone found the car.

I bet you don't want to pay $85K for 545i, and STILL not get Bluetooth.
