I was picking up a 80K BMW M5 for a client yesterday at a dealership here in Dallas and noticed that BMW is selling some sort of Garmin that looked like a nuvi 350, but it of course said BMW on the front where it usually says the brand name. I noticed though that it says it has Bluetooth? All other options looked exactly like the Nuvi 350. Which Nuvi would that be? Also in the menu system under "Where To" there was an option for "BMW Centers" next to "Home". How did that get in there? Are these units slightly more flexible/programmable than we know? I'd like to customize the heck out of mine if possible. I would imagine though that Garmin is producing a set specifically for BMW and other dealers.

Nuvi 360 or 370?

Could it be the 360 or 370? What other features did it have?
Yes, I am sure that Garmin customized it for BMW. RD, cell phone, and other manufacturers often do that

Sounds like a 360.
nüvi 750 & 760
Kia/Hundai
I think it is either 350 or 360 because Kia/Hundai selling them like that too.
If BMW cars use the same as
If BMW cars use the same as the Motorcycles its the Zumo 5 series. BMW Motorad has them customized with dealer locations. Features like MP3's are deleted but they have features added deemed to be better such as gasoline stain proof for the bikes. I have the BMW Navigator III for my bike and car and it is a Garmin 2820. The housing is a different color in case you spill gas on it during fill up on the bike. Also they can charge more with BMW logos for the Beemers and Bimmers.
Not a 350

Since it has Bluetooth.
