My Ride: 2006 E60 530 xi six speed manual/Silver gray-auburn/18inch-style123wheels/premium sound and package/HUD/PDC/sport/coldpackage/Sirius/M-aero kit/Nav/comfortseats/shades/comfort access
tires: 245 40 18 Sottozero Pirelli winters (non runflats)
2004 RX330 Lexus - crystal white - reliable, quiet, and the "beater" car for ski trips, hauling, etc.
1995 E34 540i 6 speed black/truffle interior/alpinemp3/XMradio/M5 alloys (Many tears...sold to a fellow Boston bimmer enthusiast!)
Just upgrade from my trusty e815 motorola phone to the Q - it has been a cumbersome transition -
and, unlike my e815, my Q will not communicate with my E60's bluetooth!
and, you can't cut and paste on the motorola q, not to mention the battery life is horrible - if the extended battery isn't significantly better I will probably switch to the RAZR...
if anyone has tips on the bluetooth connection, I would appreciate it!

My Q works great with my 5. There is a button in the settings menu, way deep, but by default IR is on, searching for other Q's to exchange data with. Turn it off. I get a day and a half with light talking/data use, but I always plug it in at night, so who cares. I have a car charger and I put the Q pluged in in the net in the passenger footwell for long trips since bluetooth drains the battery too.
There is also a Q update. Make sure you have it, it makes the signal strength icon show up in idrive.
This website is VERY helpful for Q tricks and tips.

I can't believe how much better the Q integration is with my 530xi than my previous POS Treo700. All 3000 numbers in the idrive phone book!
