huh??

E90Fleet · 06-21-2006, 07:57 AM

1) Never heard that in a 7 Series here
2) Yes, go to voice command and say something like "store", or just say "Help" and the system will list all options

yaja · 06-21-2006, 07:58 AM

This is a 3 series, not a 7 series. That is why your question is so funny

KL2DC · 06-21-2006, 08:14 AM

Well I am similarly peeved. The e65/66 has ventilated/massaging seats options, the e90 doesn't....the e65/66 has a 19" wheel option, the e90 only has 18" wheel...the e65/66 has a V12 model, the e90 only has half of that

....WTF

carjon · 06-21-2006, 08:15 AM

Some of what you ask depends upon iDrive or not - premium package or not. ALso the way software updates are being done things could be very different in a E92 than the current way things work. One would hope things get improved.

Without iDrive - First program the name by pressing the button for the voice entry. Say "Save Name." The voice will prompt you through the rest. BUT the trick here is really to say exactly "Save Name". Don't say "Save Susan" or "Save Jim". It'll ask you for that later. Then, once you've done what it wants, press the voice entry button and say "Dial Name" (again, don't give the name you want yet, actually say "Dial Name"). The voice will say "Say the name you wish to dial". THEN say the exact name you saved it as.

if you have nav... and you leave you keys in it gives you a nice chime....i think that is what you mean....also you can program you phone like that too!

ages944 · 06-21-2006, 09:32 PM

There seems to be some confusion on this, so let me just clarify:

The BMW series designations denote more highly optioned cars the higher the numbers go... The 3series for instance is a lower series than say the 5,6,or7 series vehicles. This must be easy to forget, so here's an easy way to remember: look at the prices!

gimme a break...

bmwhomosapien · 06-21-2006, 10:23 PM

geezzz

bagbklyn · 06-21-2006, 10:31 PM

Go easy on the chap...

BMW F22 · 06-21-2006, 10:52 PM

you guys are too much. THe dude is just asking a question. Some features might trickle down to the 3 series from the higher end cars, that's why he asked. If you're not gonna answer in a nice way, just dont answer at all. No need to rip on him.

clutch09 · 06-21-2006, 11:09 PM

What he said.. some guys can be so immature

BenMW · 06-21-2006, 11:18 PM

also the two things he asked if the 3 series has... well if i understand him correctly the 3 series has both of them. So I dont understand y people are saying its only a 3 series when it has those same feautures as the 7 does?

BMW335PA · 06-22-2006, 10:59 AM

My car does a welcome chime as soon as i put the key in, and continues even after I have fastened my seatbelt, so i know its not just that warning.
With the Idrive, making a phone call is SO EASY, I never had to make any voice entries. It interpilates what the name you are saying is, EX. if I want to dial Dave, I would push the button, wait for beep, and say "Call Dave" it asks, "would you like to be connected to Dave" I simply say "yes" and the phone starts ringing.... COULDN'T BE EASIER...I LOVE IT!

Ones without Idrive also do it

really how? I have no drive? do share my friend cuz I want to impress some of my guess with voice recognition thru cell phone operation. Plus, that seems much safer then pressing button to locate the name on the lcd. Thanks.

thanks alot

1) My 330i has a welcome chime of sorts when I start the car: VROOOM!!!!

2) The available names in the car that I can call via voice command are those I have in the SIM of the cell phone (Nokia 6210i). These transfer automatically each time the phone and the car connect via Bluetooth.

3) I had a couple of answers but forgot them too.
