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.

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...

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.

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