Andy, how much did you pay for the mirror and the voicerecognition.. Just want to have an idea how much it's gonna cost me (yes I know it will be more expensive to retrofit booohoooo 
)
btw your car has awesome specs.. exactly how I would have it if I had 545 budget
TIA Dennis
edit: found the price for the interior mirror for 313 euro's. That is acceptable for me!

Thanks again, Rudy.

The North American Nav DVDs came with my car. They were included with a package that contained the owners manual and BMW intro DVD. I was also able to get free use of the European DVD while picking up my car through European delivery.
I had to order the Euro DVD from Nav Tech before the trip and bring them with to Europe. Nav Tech's policy is to accept returns within 30 days for a full refund. I'm not sure how they make any money doing this but true to their word, I received a full refund after returning the Euro DVD.

It wasn't much Dennis, but don't know how voice is retrofitted - I guess if you
have bluetooth, voice should technically be possible... the mirror remote should be
easy to retrofit.
You know how BMW is...option availability is always staggered..might take almost 18-24 months before all of the option range is available. Take the new sports package M5 lookalike, to be available in OCT 04, I mean, that just hurts !!
It was the same with my E46 328i... that's why I waited 15 months before ordering
so at least more options would be available and most bugs fixed.
BTW, got a reply from the guy in Germany - he is sending me a DVD Europe Map
Pro 2004-2 !!
Seek and thy shall find my Son...!!
Also found a nice site with BMW replica alloy wheels from a manafacturer in
Italy...might use them for my future winter set ... www.wielcompleet.nl
check it out.

Maybe 620 is just a software thing and a button on the console... I hope so. If not I will live without it.

I think your right on the 620 option... don't forget you still have the "voice button"
on the steering wheel...so must be a software thing. Since you have the communications ie. microphone and telephone - should be possible.
When I get the DVD in my hands and it works...I will "lend" it to you
will you have the car this month?
