Will pick up the car after work. Lets pray for the MP3 activation. (please work)

They gave me a X3 loaner 2.5i, god I can feel the real benefit of the Dynamic Drive on my 530i. This X3 rolls on the coners..... And if you want to kick down and over take on the motorway, forget it, it's too heavy.

Someone is washing and hovering my car for me.

I'll keep you guys posted on the MP3. Can't wait!!!!

The result is, they rang me up and said the trim part for the microphone for the voice input did not arrive at the dealer so it takes another day to get the job done.

Which means I can keep the X3 loaner for the whole night

I will update you all when I get it back.

YES!!!!

It all worked like a dream, voice input + MP3.

They even send an engineer to demonstrate how things work and tested my MP3 CD for me to make sure it work before I go.

I now need to check how many voice commands are there. The main benefit is that, you can switch between different options by voice input, rather than, clicking the menu, then the sub menu, then another sub menu.

The down side is that you cannot choose the MP3 track by voice command. Voice command track selection only available on normal CD.
