The BMW is not on Palmone's list of supported cars.

List of Supported Carkits

* MobileEase car kit from Peiker Acoustics, used in Ford, Lincoln and
Mercury cars
* HandsFreeLink TM car kit from Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI) used in
Honda and Acura cars
* UConnect car kit from Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI) used in Jeep,
Chrysler and Dodge cars
* Integrated car kit used in Audi vehicles with Bluetooth technology
* DriveBlue Installation-free Bluetooth car Kit from Parrot
* CK3000 Bluetooth handsfree kit from Parrot
* CK3100 Bluetooth handsfree kit from Parrot
* Anycom HCC-110 headset car kit

Updates:
With CrashPro I was able to get more info on the system crash:

Crash was caused by error "MemoryMgr.c, Line:3721, NULL handle
while running BtDeviceLibrary 1.2

Anybody know if PalmOne has plans on a further update to their
BlueTooth software to enable connection with the BMW Bluetooth adapter?
If they can do it with Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln and Mercury, Jeep.
etc., they should make it work with BMW

I asked them at the CES show and they said NO they did not have any plans...
I tried several times since then and got nowhere. Neither BMW or Sprint was
any help either. I finally went on e-bay and bought a SE t-608 phone and it
works great!!! Sprint is not carrying any BT compatable phones and I really
wanted to get the TREO but now I am happy until my contract ends and then I
am going to switch to CINGULAR or T-Mobile... both of them have BT capable
phones and they also both support data transfer from my laptop.

PalmOne introduced that flagship phone in a shameful way. No
voicedialing, terrible compliance with Bluetooth, major hardware and
firmware bugs, and incredibly low memory.

The company is expanding car coverage and has already released one patch
- I guess your BMW (Parrot?) isn't there yet. Neither is the Prius,
though owners have found a way to pair them effectively and reliably,
and the only feature lost is signal strength indicator.

Visit mytreo.net and treocentral to find people who have encountered
your problem - and if you're lucky someone has solved it.

Don't hold your breath.

I had the same problem of the Treo 650 crashing after it connected wit
the BMW Bluetooth car kit. On the advice of PalmOne support, I har
reset the Treo and then tried to connect. It worked! I was able to mak
a call and it did not crash. I am going through the process o
determing what the offending setting or app is. I post it here once
find it
