#228 of 276 bavarian behemoths by richardga73 Feb 12, 2009 (7:28 pm)
Bavarian bhemoths is right. Why did they increase content thus increasing weight? The only thing I notice is that maybe they are quieter which is a good thing but they handle maybe lousier with a loss of touch a little number Replies to this message: srs_49 (Feb 13, 2009 3:16 am)

Replying to: richardga73 (Feb 12, 2009 7:28 pm) Bavarian bhemoths is right. Why did they increase content thus increasing weight? The only thing I notice is that maybe they are quieter which is a good thing but they handle maybe lousier with a loss of touch a little number   From what I've read, BMW seems to be going away from their roots of designing small, nimble cars that are a blast to drive and throw around to well behaved highway cruisers. Maybe they feel a need to compete more directly against Lexus/Infinity/Acura.   Everything they add to a car adds weight. Whether it's power windows and seats, sun roofs, ABS, active suspensions, (you name it) - it all takes a toll on weight. Every pound adds up, 'ti' the low 3000 lb car of 20 years ago is now a high 3000 lb vehicle.
#230 of 276 Verizon phone by ad3series Feb 14, 2009 (7:58 am)
Can anyone recommend a Verizon phone that works well with a 2009 BMW Bluetooth system? Mine rarely works through the car. Thanks, Replies to this message: circlew (Feb 14, 2009 12:39 pm)

Replying to: ad3series (Feb 14, 2009 7:58 am) Heck, my free phone 2 years ago worked flawlessly. Make sure you pair it correctly. I had 2 phones paired and they worked great. 2006 330xi   Regards, OW

The compatibilitychart, (link attached) will show you the phones that Verizon has that will pair up with various vehicles...The blackberry Storm will work with most BMW's. Good luck.   http://support.vzw.com/how_to_use/bluetooth_car_kit.html#a1

Replying to: rv65 (Jan 24, 2009 12:07 pm) My only issue with it is sometimes the music doesn't sound right and there sometimes is static. When I touch or move the cord there is a lot of static like the cord is already going bad. Maybe this is due to the cord being so bent under the storage lid. After moving the cord around I am usually able to get full sound static free.
#236 of 276 Anyone by dhamilton Mar 02, 2009 (9:42 am)
unable to get their Ipod touch to work? My 2008 will accept every Ipod but my touch.   Any suggestions are welcome, BMW service is useless so far. Replies to this message: rv65 (Mar 08, 2009 11:38 am)

Replying to: dhamilton (Mar 02, 2009 9:42 am) Does it have the USB/Aux option? If it has that option are you using the Y-Cable that plugs the iPod into it? If it does have it you should get a Y-cable. You might need a new Y-cable. The new 2nd gen touches no longer charge over firewire so you'll need the 796 Y-cable. The 4th Gen Nano, 3G iPhone, and 120 GB Classic all require the new 796 iPod cable in order for it to charge.
