Does the 2001 BMW 325i have Bluetooth?

My brother wants to sell me his 2001 BMW 325i. It’s lightly driven, so it doesn’t have many miles and he’s kept it meticulously maintained. However, I want to make sure that it has Bluetooth to stream audio. Does this model have Bluetooth?

Why is my AC making a clunking noise?

While on my morning commute today I turned on the AC in my car as it’s getting hot where I live, but my AC started making this weird clunking noise. I turned it off and rolled my windows down instead, but with summer coming, I’d really like to get it fixed. Any idea why my AC is making a clunking noise?
