Too late to add options?

stooken · 07-02-2007, 09:54 PM

I'm assuming it is but I just want to make sure.

I want to add the Bluetooth option. Is it something my dealer can do? The car should arrive in about 2 weeks.

canucklion · 07-02-2007, 09:55 PM

wouldn't the most obvious way to find out is to call your salesperson?

wouldnt it be nice to say something nice for once?
its like you strive on being rude to people instead of doing what the main purpose of this website which is helping out someone in need.

canucklion · 07-02-2007, 10:00 PM

OK, offer the OP ONE suggestion, other than what I've suggested him to do, that can help him find out if he can add the option now.

Maybe he's on vacation and I couldn't get through to anyone else?

canucklion · 07-02-2007, 10:05 PM

^ check with another salesperson, they work with each other, they can look it up for you.

Having said that, if your car is scheduled to be here in 2 weeks, I'm afraid the ship's sailed, literally

It's too late.

Agent007 · 07-02-2007, 10:10 PM

What is the bluetooth option? If he has NAV + Idrive - it should have bluetooth, no?

EDIT: Oh it comes w/ premium not with NAV...

You could always order a new one....just need to wait another month-2 months.

Maybe they have another already produced with your new specs...that you could just swap cars with. If you really want it...I would call the salesperson and see what can be done. If nothing...then you stick with your current car. Its worth a phone call.

saosinned · 07-02-2007, 10:31 PM

yah they keep telling me bluetooth is only available at the factory and cant be added later. doesn't seem like its worth the $900 or w/e it was anyways, you're probably not missing much (I hope).

I'm pretty sure it's a factory option. I doubt any dealer would play around with installing the electronics. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't possible.

nusevad · 07-02-2007, 10:48 PM

I guess if you cant add it on, just get a blue tooth headset. Next best thing if your into that kinda stuff.

karliejai · 07-03-2007, 02:31 AM

if its coming in two weeks... its too late... its on the ship now?

OC Guy · 07-03-2007, 02:36 AM

If it's coming in 2 weeks, it's already built, on the ship, and way too late.

Get a Parrot Minikit. Works really well and you don't look like a plank wearing a headset!

Pretty cool and it's under $100! How well does it work?

montreal_bimmer · 07-03-2007, 02:18 PM

too late, but there have been good reviews on the parrot Miniit....

LEDZEP · 07-03-2007, 03:21 PM

2 weeks away? Yeah, it's waaaaay too late. It's on a ship already.

tjnptel1 · 07-03-2007, 03:36 PM

it's never too late but the retrofit is always costlier.
