Similar situation as rickmaan, but different result. I had my Treo 650 (Verizon) when I got my 2005 BMW 325i. While the BMW dealer was glowing about my pending ability to use the bimmer's hands-free with the phone, it never panned out. Sure, I can pair the two just fine. But when I initiate a call using the bimmer's phone system, I can hear the dialtone, the beep-beep-boop of dialing and the ring on the other end. When someone answers, however, my Treo hardboots and the call (naturally) drops.

Funny how the 2006 BMW 325i is officially supported, though.

BMW points fingers at Verizon and Verizon is happy to suggest I buy a newer bimmer and the official site has stopped dishing out any BT-related info for the Treo 650, period.
