If you have a car equipped with Audio 20 that only allows "Receive Business Cards" as a method to populate the car's contact list and a Nokia phone which only allows you to send one contact at a time via bluetooth, here's a workaround to speed things up.
Step 1 - Select Contacts on your phone, then Options>Mark/Unmark>Mark all
Step 2 - Select Options>Create backup>Phone to memory card
Step 3 - Use the phone's File Manager to interrogate the memory card and find the contacts backup files created in step #2. On my phone they are in the <root folder>\Other\Contacts folder
Step 4 - Select Options>Mark/Unmark>Mark all
Step 5 - Select Options>Send>Via Bluetooth and then select your car's bluetooth alias
Voila! Job done - all your contacts sent to the car in one go rather than one-by-one. This technique works a treat on my E72 and saved me much frustration.
