Loving it. The only significant issue is that Bluetooth must be disabled if you connect your iPhone via the USB connector in order to use BMW Apps (such as Pandora in the image above). If you later want to use Bluetooth, you have to navigate through the menus and reconfigure your phone. This is potentially a problem since all your contacts actually reside on your phone, not in the car. I don't know what would happen if I received a call while listening to Pandora. but I am sure I'll find out soon.

Nice rig. From the elevation in the background of the 1st two pics you must live just west of Austin in the Lake Travis area maybe. Can't tell from the pics--how is the match on that Llumar Ceramic tint on the front windows or did you not get the Cilmate Pack and did aftermarket tint on the windows ?

[Toopskees]

Very good pickup, BGM! The first 2 pictures were taken on Loop 360 west of town, not far from Austin Country Club. I actually live near the University. I did not get the climate pack. Privacy Glass on the rear windows is standard in the 2012, but I added the Llumar tint aftermarket since it just wasn't dark enough for my taste. I darkened all the windows and the moonroof, with the fronts having to be less dark by law.

Yeah I've been down to Austin quite a bit over the years and also have some friends there--I was there in February.

I agree, especially for those of us who ordered in early march after being told that LED coronas wouldn't make it to the 35d until the fall. Oh well, it is a great car anyway.

On the BT issue. Are you taking about BT for handsfree or audio streaming ? If former that makes no sense at all.
