Issues with iPhone and BMW Bluetooth???

[onesixeight]

Hi Guys...

While my X5 is in the shop awaing a new iDrive control module, the dealer kindly gave me a 328i loaner to drive with Bluetooth. The iPhone and 3 pair up great, but when it comes to making a call, the audio quality is horrible. The first couple of seconds, the other party comes in choppy and can barely be heard. It's a hit or miss problem, sometimes people come in clear and others, I can't hear a thing they are saying. I know its not a reception issue because when I switch to phone, the audio is clear as can be. I search e90post.com and others have been having the same issue.

My question is: How is the bluetooth quality with the E70 Bluetooth? Because I don't expect my car back till the end of the month, I'm definetly going to return the iPhone if I can't get the Bluetooth to work right with my E70. Most of my mobile conversations take place when in my car, so I rely on bluetooth quite heavily for a majority of my mobile calls.

I'd really love to hear your feedback... Thanks again!
