My Ride: 525i M Sport Touring (E61): Mystic Blue with Beige Leather and Light Poplar Wood Trim | M Sport Package: Anthracite Headlining, Dechroming, 18" M Spoke Alloy Wheels (135) & RFT's, M Sport Steering Wheel, Sports Seats, M Door Entry Sill Trims, M Sport Suspension Settings, M Aero Bodykit I | Pro NAV | Bluetooth Prep | Xenons | Adapative Headlights | Headlight Washers | HUD | PDC | Automatic Air Con - Advanced | Automatic Tailgate Operation | Heated Front Seats | Sun Protection Glass | Non-Smoker Package |
In June I will take delivery of my new E61 with Bluetooth Prep as part of the media package. By coincidence I'm also due an upgrade for my mobile (cell) 'phone from my provider, O2. 
Can anyone advise, from their own experiences, which 'phone model will integrate best with the BMW Bluetooth system. I want to make the best choice of new 'phone for use with the BMW bluetooth, using it for making & receiving calls, 'phone book searches ect. Integrated cameras & MP3 players in the 'phone are not particulary important to me.

In my experience (Samsung Z510, Siemens, Motorola) Motorola is the best, considering that BMW Bluetooth hardware was developed jointly with Motorola.
I tried V3i and SLVR L7 both fully in compliance.
Adding on that now it is available a cradle too for V3.

My Ride: MY06 Silver-Grey 530i, Grey Leather, Sports Package, Steptronic, Premium Package, Satellite Radio, Bluetooth (Motorola V551), Llumar Platinum Tint.
Integrates easily with Motorola V551/V557. Took about 2 minutes to integrate with my phone.

Functionally works great and does everything it should. I also have a new Nokia 8800 which does not work with E60, nor is there a charger available.

Not in my experience - to get it to load the full contact list to my April 2006 E60 I had to delete all SMS folders (following advice from other forum threads). Even now there are problems - pairing up is fine but performance is erratic - sometimes I cannot dial out from the car or answer the phone using the handsfree facilities - frequent disconnection and re-connection being needed to establish a (short-term) working link.
Anyone else having problems with the SE 750i?

Are you sure you'r not talking about the K700i it had these problems but the K750i is perfect for me only once did it not load the address book and I just reinstalled it but hey your experience is just that, as is mine so I'll keep using it and you won't

My problem might be related to the CIP version installed - the car was delivered new only last week and I am already aware of other glitches present in very recent cars (eg satnav postcode entry problem) which other users are also experiencing.
Will persevere though and eventually win!!!
