1) it's a rumor
2) that's pretty damn far fetched.

Yeah, and I heard that BMW is eliminating all exterior and interior color choices except white. :rolleyes:

I need to go through all of my posts, I called this years ago. (If it's real... :rofl)
I think that that would actually be a smart move, even my legally blind grandparents can operate an iPod, if you even told them what iDrive is, they would likely think you're absolutely nuts!

Years ago :) you joined in April of last year... :thumbup:

Apple would be the silliest way to take iDrive, if anything it would go Windows based (if it was limited to Win/Mac) there are FAR more windows 'savvy' users then Mac.

I'll be happy when BMW realizes what a touchscreen is like the rest of the world. :rofl:

Are you saying that your legally blind grandparents could drive a BMW if it had an iPod interface instead of iDrive? Amazing! :rofl:

IDK, Florida just re-issued his drivers lic. after he gave it up! Thats truly amazing :rofl:

Apple and Volkswagen perhaps... why not other automobile mfr's in the future also?
