Hi guys.

Yesterday I purchased my cpo black 04 545i. Its a very nice car I love will post pics up soon.
I think I got an ok deal 35,500 with 48k miles got the extended maintenance of course.

3 quick questions? How do I connect my razor phone to it using Bluetooth? My idrive display does not show a satellite radio option does that mean I cant get it without some other software or hardware install? Do all 04 545i come with the premium package?

Sport Pkg
Cold Pkg
Premium Pkg
Xenons
Premium Sound
Sirius Ready?
BMW Assist?

No comments guys? I did a search I accidentally called BWW assist this morning somehow. I just looked at the bmw site to see about instructions pair bluetooth except this are for 06 model cars. Does it still work the same with mine if i have the capability.

Does the car have a Bluetooth option in the settings menu? You may or may not have what's needed to pair the RAZR. Similar issue with Siruis, you need to have the pre-wiring if you want to install it.

I think all USA 545's have the premium package.

More detailed answers to the questions you have (as well as answers to questions you didn't know you had) are available by reading the forums and/or searching.

Enjoy your new car and welcome to the best source of E60 information on the 'net!

To connect your bluetooth, you go to the menu - push down on idrive - go to bottom communications setting - push down - and you will get another menu. Push up 2X until you see bluetooth and go to settings and check the box. then go up and select PHONE.

if your phone is set on bluetooth active, you must 'pair' and use a code from your phone and repeat that code into iDrive. AFTER you get the number up, PULL BACK and you will see Confirm Password and you will be all hooker up.

Thanks Guys!

Yes, my car is bluetooth enabled!

What about for an Ipod hook up? Can Install an Ipod Video 30GB on to it?

Is the satellite radio worth it?
