So far, all 2004 BMW cars should be treated equally... some are getting free upgrades, some with very low fee for BT activation in their cars... how about early adopters of the car... they are 2004s too... how come BMW is leaving them in the dark? that I don't understand... will they resolve this issue soon?

Noope! It was never promised and the post-March build E60 folks just got lucky! It should be well known that BMW makes changes during Sept production and March production. If you want to buy a car and its near one of these periods, wait until then!! For example I ordered mine in Jan 2004 as soon as NAV was confirmed. In retrospect I should have waited until March. Too late now... I'm still happy though everytime i get in the drivers seat.

I guess I got lucky by default then. I ordered mine in November 2003 but had to wait until March production to get SMG. My build date was March 4th -- I just made it! (One of these days, I'll have to get me one of them BT phones!)

Mine was a March 1 build date and I got the old TCU. That must make me very unlucky!!


Rudy, be sure to confirm your TCU part number if you are thinking of geting a BT phone.

I already had them successfully enable it but then we realized that that I couldn't use my CPT9000 so I had them disable it (which was a huge chore, by the way.)

I'm good to go when I'm ready for BT...
