BMW has just made available two mobile phone hands-free Bluetooth headsets – one with a BMW design and one with a MINI design. The headsets are aimed at those who own BMW or MINI cars that did not come with Bluetooth handsfree systems from the factory. In Malaysia, it’s safe to say that all iDrive-equipped BMWs have Bluetooth handsfree systems installed.
The Bluetooth headset by BMW weighs 8 grams and the rechargeable battery offers a talktime of 5 hours and a standby time of 7 days. You can charge them via a charger that you hook up to your car’s cigarette lighter. It can be paired and used with two different mobile phones at the same time.

Quite nice…
Wondering how much gonna pay for this.
IM GONA GET A MINI COZ THE BLUETOOH EARPIECE IS BETTER LOOKING.
just wait for another 2 months you will get make IN china cheap and not good
L-O-L… I'm using this headset now. It's a Plantronics Discovery 925. I'm sure BMW is going to overcharge the headsets thanks to them being "re-branded"..
But the bmw headset looks like those selling in pasar malam…
buy car free headset?
I prefer MINI headset… where is the BMW emblem?
Yup…the Mini's version does look more classy than BMW's one. Agreed with Jeffery Chew, should put the BMW emblem on it!!
ROFL, about to say the same thing as maxtek……refer to

BMW and MINI owners are advised not to be idiots when the headsets are Plantronics which can be bought for a lower price…..this is a public service announcement from a user of Platronics….XDD,
Platronics has space technology (read wikipedia) and now a subsidary of Altec Lansing sound systems..

wth…bmw just curi the design from platronics..
it is better for me to just buy it from platronics and print the BMW word on a plain white sticker paper and just paste it…it is cheaper…huhu~~
and then charge it 200 percent because it is "branded"
Thanks for that bit of info guys.
Smart Bluetooth!!
