I'm wondering if the 2005 e60's will come with bluetooth (standard) ;P.
As i'm reading these posts, it seems as though it's just a softweare upgrade to 13.3 and voila! you havebluetooth... other posts say the exact opposite...

also, what's MY2005, is MY a shorthand for E60?

I just picked up a took delivery of a new '05 545 sport 6-speed yesterday. Going through the i-drive menus I did see bluetooth listed there under communication. Didn't really check it out as my phone is not Bluetooth capable(gotta upgrade from the Treo 600 to the Treo 650 now)...

Hi'ya, I do not think the Treo is a BMW supported/compatible bluetooth phone. You may want to check with your dealer, or look at http://www.x5world.net/bluetooth_compatible_phones.htm

Just got mine. My Motorola V80 works like a champ (very similar to the V600 except for the outside case). Great hearability on both sides of the conversation, directories transfered to the car without you having to do anything. At time of delivery I had to walk the salesman through how to pair the phone to the car.

BT is standard on MY2005.

MY is actually Model Year. 9-04 production is manufactured in 2004 but is Model Year 2005. MY2005 will end with July 2005 Production. The factory is closed in August and MY2006 production will start in Spetember 2005.
