Oh yes, I have had the same exact problem. I actually turned off the engine, got out of my car, and could see that the connection was still showing on my radio display. After I walked away, it went off.
 
It's happened maybe twice since I had my car. I have Cingular and I wasn't sure if it was my phone or the car, so I didn't bother to ask.
 
I've also had a problem with it connecting at all on occasion. Turned my phone on and off but still no connection.
 
My guess is it's just a quirk, could be the cell provider, phone, or car. I love the feature anyway!

The Bluetooth feature comes with the Premium package, along with the premium leather seats and HomeLink system. You don't have to have iDrive or BMW Assist.

BMW Blue Tooth and Motorola sync problems by citsk

I got a 2006 BMW 3 series in December. I've a Motorola razor phone and had initial problems with sync-ing. It would only sync 50% of the time. I took the car back to BMW. They had it two days and claimed it was working perfectly.
 
I've been through every fault finding trick that t mobile and motorola suggest. I've since spent three months using different cell phones in my car - all seem to syn perfectly when I use them with the exception of motorola phones. I've now had 3 new razors - replaced by T mobile and also Motorola. I'm still having the same problems.
 
Has anyone seen or heard of this problem. BMW implied that there are issues with Motorola phones

I have a 2007 3 series and a Razr from Sprint. The phone pairs-up fine and receives calls without problem but when making calls I can only hear them through the radio about 50% of the time. Usually it then works if I hang up and repeat the call. It is an annoyance that I live with. The dealer said that BMW has only confirmed compatability with Razrs from Verizon and that each cell carrier's Razr is different. Hope that helps.

Razor Cingular and Bluetooth by 07bimmer

I jsut recently bought a 328xi with bluetooth. The phone works great with the Razor and the Cingular service. The only problem that I am encountering is trying to voice dial by name. The car will not let me record a name and my voice library did not transfer from my phone to my car. Is anyone else have this problem?
 
Thanks!

Is your phonebook on a sim card, or on the phone... Only entried recorded directly on the phone will work.. Info from the sim card doesn't transfer..

I'm asking about a different phone service as I have to leave Cingular.
 
Will a Sprint Razr phone be compatible with the 3-series Bluetooth? Can the Razr's phone book be downloaded by the 3-series' Bluetooth?

I didn't like the Razr as a phone in general. It kept fading in and out and was annoying. I got a different Motorola that wasn't on the compatible list and it worked. I would ask your new carrier if you could try the phone for 30 days just to be sure. I returned my Razr after 24 hours.
