Replying to: buzz35 (Oct 14, 2005 1:48 am) If BMW's is as reliable as my Audi's good luck -- four months and four pushbutton starters and still counting, I'll bet. Mine is working fine, but half the time I still use the key since I hate the key fob's bulk especially when wearing anything but baggy pants. Takes all kinds -- seems like these keyless start systems are great fun but I am yet to find their practical side. My wife -- who has a BMW -- makes fun of me with the keyless start, says she wouldn't take it if it were free. Takes all kinds. $750 for the Audi version is an outrage unless you factor in that you get not one, not two but four switches for the price of one! Lame-o,  for the time being.

Replying to: markcincinnati (Oct 14, 2005 12:40 pm) BMW has used the push-button start buttons since 2001 (02 model year). It started in their 7-Series and has now trickled down.... I haven't heard of people having problems with them, and even if they used to, I'm sure they would have worked the bugs out by now. |

I am trying to determine whether the "Premium" Logic7 sound system in my 2006 530xi can play MP3 CDs. The manual says YES, but when I tried to do so I could not get either the in-dash single CD player OR the glovebox-mounted 6-CD changer to play MP3 CDs. Please help if you know the definitive answer. Also, I sent in a "Priority Customer Email" to BMW Customer Service via the BMW Owner's Circle SIX WEEKS AGO with this same question. Six weeks later, BMW is STILL researching the answer to this ridiculously simple question: "Does my new BMW play MP3 CDs or not?". Apparently BMW has to "research" whether a car that they built supports a feature that the manual says it supports!! Here is the exact verbatim text from CustomerService  bmwusa.com: Thank you for your reply. I apologize for your frustration and for the delay. I know this seems like a simple question, but actually has, in fact required some research. Please rest assured that when a definitive answer is available, it will be provided to you immediately. Sincerely, Customer Relations and Services Representative |
