Wayne Hemrick asked:
If drive a BMW 3 or 5 series or X5 built between 2002 and 2006 and want to bring your car’s sound system up to date, consider a BMW Bluetooth retrofit for your automobile.
What Is Bluetooth?
You’ve probably heard of Bluetooth, but may not know exactly what it is, how it works or why you should equip your older vehicle with a BMW Bluetooth retrofit.
Bluetooth technology (named after a rather despotic Scandinavian king of the late Viking Age) is really a type of electronic protocol – an industry standard that allows different electronic devices such as personal computers, printers, cell phones, and a wide range of digital devices to connect to each other and exchange information without the need for cumbersome cables and wires. It operates in a manner that is similar to a short-range radio frequency.
Uses and Capabilities
Bluetooth is highly effective for small devices that are in close proximity (up to 100 meters apart, depending on whether the device is Class I, II or III). this is one of the reasons that a BMW Bluetooth retrofit is ideal for the small, enclosed environment of an automobile interior.
If you’re like many busy people, you have a mobile phone with you and activated most of the time – including drive time. However, use of a cell phone while driving is unsafe, and actually illegal in many places. By installing a BMW Bluetooth retrofit in your classic vehicle, you’ll enjoy “hands-free” communication when receiving an important call while behind the wheel. You won’t even have to remove your cell phone from your pocket!
Taking It To The Next Level
A BMW Bluetooth retrofit allows you to integrate your cell phone into your vehicle quickly and easily. One of the most useful aspects of this is the ability to activate your cell phone and dial a number using voice commands. If your phone is equipped with this capability, you can simply speak the number you wish to dial, and your BMW Bluetooth retrofit allows it to dial it for you – automatically!
In addition, newer phones and navigation systems can display information right on your vehicle’s own digital displays (i.e., the instrument cluster).
No More Missed Calls
You probably enjoy playing your radio or CDs while commuting. You’ll be glad to know that the BMW Bluetooth retrofit automatically mutes the music or other audio programming when receiving or making a call.
Get Started Now
The BMW Bluetooth retrofit is designed for simple installation using the original manufacturer wiring. It really is as simple as “plug and play,” and afterwards, you’ll be able to control all of your cell phone’s functions using nothing more than the steering wheel controls, radio knobs and of course, your own voice. Look around and find out how easy and economical it is to update your vehicle with a BMW Bluetooth retrofit.

I just bought a ‘98 BMW 740 iL and I am wondering if it’s possible to silence the keyless entry. Every time I lock/unlock the car, it has a pretty obnoxious sound. Any help would be much appreciated.

I just had an engine replaced in my 1995 bmw 740il, and every time we stick the key in and try to turn it on, the alarm system goes off. is there like buttons on the key that i should push or something? where could i get this info because the bmw dealer in my state will not release that info because they feel they would “lose business” without me bringing it in i.e. tow it in

Hailey Kerr asked:
Linde’s CEO Wolfgang Reitzle has stressed that he will be driving hydrogen-powered BMW Hydrogen 7 from now on.
The objective is very clear for Professor Dr. Reitzle. He said, “Hydrogen-powered cars should become an everyday sight on our streets.”
The Chairman of the Executive Board of Linde AG has started practicing what he preaches by collecting a BMW Hydrogen 7 at the Linde Hydrogen Center. Professor Dr. Reitzle is to get a brand new model of what is considered to be the first top-end saloon in the world with a bivalent hydrogen-powered combustion engine. The new car will be handed over by Professor Dr. Joachim Millberg, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of BMW Group.
Professor Dr. Reitzle also added, “BMW and Linde are working closely together to achieve sustainable mobility using hydrogen as a fuel. With the BMW Hydrogen 7, BMW has taken a very important step towards mass production. For me, this vehicle is much more than just a new company car. The BMW Hydrogen 7 proves that hydrogen technology is suitable for everyday use.”
The new car will be re-fuelled with climate-neutral hydrogen at the Linde Hydrogen Center in Unterschleißheim which presently supplies BMW’s own test vehicles.
Professor Dr. Millberg said, “We need network partners from the fields of politics, the sciences and economics, so that we can continue to develop and expand appropriate infrastructures and technologies to support the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Linde and BMW are united by a common vision of achieving sustainable production and supply of hydrogen.”
For so long, Linde has been at the cutting edge when it comes to the development of environmentally-friendly hydrogen technology. The company also provides a complete range of technologies necessary for the functioning of a hydrogen value chain and that involves production to re-fuelling.
Linde is also involved in other initiatives which aim to demonstrate the suitability of hydrogen as an everyday fuel. It is also BMW’s exclusive gas partner for its CleanEnergy Project. The company has also taken a leading role as a supplier of mobile re-fuelling systems.
BMW the producer of top-of-the-line BMW 323is parts and Linde are ensuring Germany’s position as the center of innovation reinforcing it with the creation of an infrastructure of hydrogen filling stations. Earlier this year, the Linde Hydrogen Center in Unterschleißheim was voted as one of the “365 Landmarks” by the federal initiative “Germany-Land of Ideas”.
The German automaker has already produced a series of 100 models of its Hydrogen 7 which is the first top-end saloon in the world to be equipped with a hydrogen-powered combustion engine with bivalent drive. The Hydrogen 7 is a combination of hydrogen technology, good handling, high-performance, and of course luxurious comfort which BMW is known for. The range of Hydrogen 7 vehicles is to be presented in the course of 2007 to selected individuals in political and economic spheres and also to distinguish members of the society for use as an everyday mode of transport.

Evander Klum asked:
BMW is one of the most sought after car makers in the auto mobile industry. BMW fanatics in the United States hugely patronize the German car maker because of the state of the art technology installed in each BMW car and the luxury each car offers.
This time, the manufacturer will be releasing the 2008 BMW 1 Series. But the big question is: “Will the car be on sale in the US?”
Fans of BMW in the United States have long been waiting for the opportunity to get a 1-series vehicle. But the vehicle will only be on sale in Europe.
US fans need not to feel envy on the Europeans’ getting a 1 Series car. The car will still reach the country, however, only the few two-door versions. They will be on sale in 2008.
According to Brenda Priddy and company, who spied the 1 Series convertible, upon release in the market, the public will be seeing the same engine options in the convertible as the coupe model. Either the twin-turbo 3-liter or the naturally-aspirated inline-six can come along with the 1 Series convertible.
About BMW 1 Series
Having a code name “E87”, the BMW 1 Series is a small-luxury car but can be considered a small family car. Since 2004, this was produced by German car maker BMW and is built with the aim of competing against the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. The 1 Series is the only vehicle in its class that features a longitudinally-mounted engine and a rear-wheel drive.
In 2004, it was first offered as a 5-door hatchback. It was then the only rear wheel drive in its class. The BMW 1 Series substituted the BMW 3-series Compact range. At present, the 1 Series is the smallest and most affordable vehicle (depending on the engine model) in the BMW range.
The vehicle is sometimes called “E87” because of its platform. Nonetheless, it has several similar components with the E90 3 Series such as a trapezoidal-link rear axle and the MacPherson struts in the front of the car.
The 1 Series is manufactured in Regensburg, Germany, where some of the engines are coming from Birmingham, England in the Hams Hall plant.
One hundred forty nine thousand four hundred ninety three (149,493) vehicles were sold during its first year on sale in 2005. Because of this, the 1 Series became BMW’s one of the most successful products.
