Bluetooth for Bell Mobility
I was talking to someone at Bell yesterday because I am interested in using the Bluetooth option when my car arrives.? They told me they have no compatible phones.
Has anyone found a Bell Mobility phone that will work with Bluetooth in the BMW?? If not, what other providers have compatible phones?
Thanks

Thanks for the info.
Looks like I may have to switch to Rogers.
Bell seems so backwards now. You still can't get cell phones from them that will work overseas (e.g. in Europe).

Heated Sports Steering Wheel and Ride Height?
OK, another couple of dumb questions. I'm on a roll!
In my existing 540i with the M sport steering wheel, the wheel itself is not heated. This was the only disadvantage with getting this steering wheel, which otherwise is a great improvement over the old thinner wheel.
I had the old wheel in my previous 540i. I used to enjoy the heat function because it meant I didn't need to wear gloves for such a long time when driving the car in winter.
The brochure doesn't mention that the heating function is deleted when you get a 545i with the Sports Package so I am hoping the sports steering wheel is heated. Is this so?
Also, another problem I have with the current car is that I have scraped the front apron a number of times on those concrete parking spot stops which I do not notice until it's too late. I know this is not the car's fault but I am wondering if there is much difference in the clearance in the sports vs non-sports 545i. I have ordered the PDC which I hope will help with my problem.
Thanks for all the help. I guess I am looking forward to getting my car in May and the excitement is causing me to bring out the questions.

I learned some time ago not to park very close to the parking curbs. My new E60 is still quite low, particularly with the sports package. I have learned to stay well back of the parking curbs. I have found that the PDC is not much help in picking up the curb distance.

Has anyone in Canada done an European Delivery? If so, how long from the time you placed your order for the car and the time you where allowed to pick the car up in Germany? Also, after drop-off, how long until you got the car in Canada ...

I just ordered a 545 to replace my 540.
For an extra fee of $400 (special order fee) I was able to order the satellite pre-wiring; allowing me to drive down to burlington, VT and have Sirius installed.
Without it, you can never add the Sirius.
Just thought you all should know.

[/quote]The $400 is just the special order fee. I will also be charged for the actual option.
