My Ride: 2003 E60 530dA
Hi guys,
What a relief it was to find this forum online! I'm on the verge of closing the deal on an '03 530d Executive and I've already found lots of useful information on here. The car is the standard Dutch E60 Executive edition as far as I can tell, although it does have the iPod connectivity which I've already successfully tested. Works wonderfully with my iPhone too!
It's silver-ish grey with a set of nice new wheels and GoodYear (non-RFT) tires. Sadly it's cloth interior without memory seats, which something I wanted to get. However my budget is a little limited and I couldn't find a car that ticked ALL the boxes.
Any help or tips are welcome, I may be coming to you with questions in the near future. Oh yeah, first question: Does this model come with voice commands? I saw a button on the steering wheel but haven't tried it yet. Oh another one: Does this model come with bluetooth connectivity? The seller couldn't tell me but I did see a cradle-like thing in the centre console under the armrest.. Would love to pair my iPhone..
Many thanks already and I hope to be an active member of your wonderful forum soon! I'll post some pics when I get it.
Kind regards,
BasRed.

Welcome to the forum.
I think the bluetooth is a definite NO on 03 models
I am not sure about the voice command.

Hi Doc Horror, I'm in Den Haag (The Hague for all you non-Dutch speakers.. )
You're in Middelburg I see? Did I just miss out on an E60 event?
Cheers,
BasRed.
