My Lexus lease terminates next month and I am considering a 528xi. I had a 530i and wish I never sold it. Here are some questions based on annoying design quirks in the Lexus:

Assuming you have a blue tooth cell phone linked to the car's system, when the phone rings while you are driving, is the caller's name or number displayed on the nav screen?

While you are driving, can you make a call by selecting a name from your address book? Can you speak the number and have the car dial the number?

While you are driving, can you enter a destination or do you have to stop the car to make the entry?

Thanks for any information.

YES to all of the above. Bluetooth with the Navigation System does everything you described, then some. Cal

Pretty basic stuff - what cell phone will you be using?
