I'm getting my second bimmer this year. I currently have the HCB - however it keeps disconnecting intermittently during calls and is making me sound like a plank. So I am only using the HCB 300 with my K750i and my Moto e1000 which dont seem to have any problems.
Should I get the parrot kit with in built GPS, which I will be able to integrate with my bmw steering wheel or should I get the more featured HCB 700 which is more feature rich in telephony.

Hmmm... good question. Down here, HCB-700 is 'Coming Soon' and Parrot devices are unavailable so I've no personal experience with either I'm afraid.
Both look great on thier respective websites, my choice would be the HCB-700 as I always prefer genuine accessories to aftermarket ones.
However if you can make use of the GPS features (I can't) then the Parrot may be the one for you.
What year and model is your bimmer? If it's a recent model it may already have a BMW Bluetooth Carkit built in. It may not like the K750i though, you'll be the guinea pig for us all I guess.
Use the search for BMW BT threads - there's plenty of them.

I have 1 series doen up like the dogs danglies and my second one is being built at the moment. The leads arent available yet for the 1 series however I was told by connects 2 that they are on there way.
However I love the look of the Sony kit - think it will look much better in the bimmer than the Parrot kit.
