+ 1 thumbs up.

OEM bluetooth is SO much nicer than add-on stuff; we had a Parrot system in our E46 and it was nice and everything, but nowhere NEAR as nice as the integrated system in our E92.

I think a better poll would be:
"do you like BMW's implementation of bluetooth"

Bluetooth / Hands Free is a great feature and in my opinion is a must have for convenience and safety.

However, I think BMW completely screwed the proverbial pooch by making an inexpensive and simple technology ridiculously expensive and complicated by:

1) cramming assist down US buyer's throats
2) implementation on a most bus connected additional phone module
3) charging a fortune for it
4) making it impossible to update for new models of phones

If bluetooth can be implemented in a gps for instance on a chip the size of your pinky nail for pennies then it follows that $1000.00 for a poorly implemented feature is a complete rip off.

This explains why all of the CPO cars I looked at did not have it.
It's the most expensive and poorly implemented feature ... yet.

+1

Bluetooth is a must have for me!
