HAHAH I had a feeling they did... especially since they were the only ones to offer the eject box for the the old V60 for BMW and Mercedes...

I get the high battery drain message every morning. After driving for a while it goes away, but still anoys the hell out of me. According to that link it's not a real problem but im still going to have it checked out.

So my "High Battery Drain" message is back. So much for the weak original battery charge theory.

I wonder if the car is "waking up" because of my bluetooth phone.

I just experienced something new. When I turned off the ignition, neither the iDrive screen or the radio turned off. I remembered reading something about this behaviour if you were on a call when you turned off the car. I wan't on a call, and my phone wasn't active. However, as soon as I turned my phone off, the car shut down.

If the car is waking up when I think it's shut down in my garage, this may explain the "High Battery Drain" error.

Just picked up my 2006 5251 a few days ago.?

You mentioned you are using a Razor phone.? was that easy to pair.? I did not recieve any manual with my car in regards to bluetooth.? I have check many forums to see which phones are most applicable to this car.

Please let me know if you like the Razor, and who is your service.

The RAZR was very easy to pair, once we found the menu. I believe BMW has done quite of a bit of testing with Motorola phones. The RAZR is a GSM only phone. My service is Rogers in Canada -- which won't be of much use to you unless you're in Canada as well (your profile doesn't indicate where you live).

What year is your car? I think BT is standard in US & Canada since 05 production.

Same here. I asked my dealership about this and they have never heard of it and told me to bring it in. So next monday I will bring it in, I am curious to see what loaner I will get!
