The 335i is brand new. Build Dec 09.

I'll have to give the telephone thing a go. One of the few disapointments with the LCI system was finding that the voice recognition will not work for phone numbers stored on my phone.

On my 330i I could use the command "call David Smith" and it would dial the number stored for David Smith in my phones contacts. With the new one it seems that I need to create a new phone book specifically on the idrive system.

This seems to be a huge step backward as it appears to be very like the system which was included in my 2004 e60. On that car you had to dial in 2 stages with "Dial Name" then "David Smith".
