I understand that our 2005 e60 comes with the 2004 owners manual, should we expect they will send us the 2005 when/if it comes out, My book does not tell me anything about bluetooth.

I have the 05 manual. It's exactly the same as 04 anyways.

I compared my 05 printed manual with the on-line 04 edition downloaded from BMWUSA. Most pages that I flipped thought are word-to-word equal, but I am sure you'll find a thing or two contentwise that are different. It still doesn't say anything about BT though.

Yeah, I was fairly disappointed on the manual not stating anything about the Bluetooth. I had to find out the hard way, thanks to this board.


Roost, if you need help configure the BT, just email me. We can meet up somewhere and I can show you. Just make sure your phone is BT enable.

The BT kit comes with a separate manual. It is pretty straightforward though to pair the BMW and your BT phone.

I had no problem with pairing bluetooth once I got my dealer to activate it I just know the book was a 2004 book and dealer says they don't have a 2005 out yet, maybe they won't be printing a 2005 book

One thing I have noticed in the 2005 manual for my 530i is there is no mention of the term MP3. If it was there in the 2004 version, it is no longer there. I guess they gave up on MP3 CD playback. Too bad.
