I just went through the bluetooth thing with mine. Check your phone to see if it detects the bluetooth in your car. It should say something like BMWxxx on your phone screen when searching for bluetooth.
So what did you get? Lets see some pics!

Hmmm, so just checked the front tires on the X. Dealer said tires were shot, but I checked them and they are between 5 and 6/32nds??? They are Michy Diamaris. I guess in that case, I'll just sell em out on ebay or something. I guess I shoulda checked first before getting new rubbers. I guess they needed it eventually because I don't have a dedicated winter set up yet. Oh well.

Don't do it. Find a shop with a HunterForce machine. That thing even re-calibrates out steering angle sensor, and the alignment is spot on.

x2, never would trust my car to pep boys. it's a bit of a hike for you, but i have 3 shops to recommend:

1) Euro Tire Fairfield NJ - Alignment and balancing are perfect every time
2) American Tire & Auto - Chester, NJ (Naz24 recommended shop, they use Hunter)
3) STS Tire in Hillsborough, NJ - They use hunter 9700 roadforce balancing and I used to deal with them a lot, they do a good job, never had alignment though.

They are a chain there is a few of them, but I think they may be independently franchised.

My best advice is to look on tire racks installer guide and look through the details of the ones closest to you. It lists the prices as well as the mounting/balancing equipment they use!

Well, since PropHead has a 2004, I think we have finally found our expert. I read your other reply about the same thing.

Wow that sux TTGTR

TTGTR, since you don't have BT, you should sell your car to me for half price. I mean what kind of person would get caught driving a BMW and holding the phone. You always need your right hand free to hold your woman when whipping those turns.
