Bluetooth should be a standard feature
I think that BMW really missed the boat on this issue. I think even in a Nissan Sentra Bluetooth is standard. You would think when you pay $50k - $60k that it would include it. Does anyone know if you can get the module after purchasing the car (335i).

You can probably get some aftermarket kits but they won't allow integration with iDrive, sterring wheel controls, auto-mute of the radio/music, etc. I agree, it should be standard although it's difficult to see why BMW charges $1100 (which includes a year of BMW Assist). The price of integration.... That said, it works really well if you have the right type of phone (I use a Blackberry 8700).

Should it work with all phones that have bluetooth? Or is there a specific one you need in order to work with IDrive?

http://www.e90post.com/forums/member.php?u=7886 When I was first looking to get a 330i last year, I put a deposit on a model with a really nice colour combination but no Assist / Bluetooth. I PM'd Palazzom and he informed me that he had ordered and installed the parts. I ended up not buying that car when I found another at the other Calgary dealer, with a less desirable colour combination but all the other options I wanted, including bluetooth. I agree that it's dumb that Bluetooth isn't standard. At least in the US it's included in the premium package. Still not a very common option for the cars dealers bring into inventory in Canada.

I've used a Motorola Razr, HP iPaq 6515 and my Blackberry Pearl. The Razr and the Pearl work flawlessly; the iPaq doesn't allow address book transfer, but connects just fine.
