Pointless 20 layer menu is a good one.
Reminds me of some cell phones.

Quite honestly, I think if anyone was offended by that pic, they need to reevaluate reality.

hahahahaahahahahahahaha.

And really if this pic offends anyone driving a BMW (yeah built by the company that brought you WWII machinery and the nation that brought you WWI and 'removal of the Jews') because of a reference to Poland, you might want to sell off the Kraut made BMW. Just sayin', kind of hypocritical.

So lets weigh comic relief versus actual fact by the company that you purchased your car from.....(and you do know what the BMW roundel and the Rapp company represent...right???)

Cough, cough...

With German rearmament in the 1930s, the company again began producing aircraft engines for the Luftwaffe. Among its successful WWII engine designs were the BMW 132 and BMW 801 air-cooled radial engines, and the pioneering BMW 003 axial-flow turbojet, which powered the tiny, 1944-45-era jet-powered "emergency fighter", the Heinkel He 162 Salamander, and was tested in the A-1b version of the world's first jet fighter, the Messerschmitt Me 262.

Point taken but you seem to be the only person who views it that way. I don't feel it is insensitive Guess it is a case of selective morality, it's "ok" to have a car built by a company that aided in killing millions of people, but improper to make a satirical reference

Feelings, rather than rational thought. Got it.

Now, THAT is funny, Michelle!!

My dislike -- nay, hate -- for the iDrive is well documented. How a company that can build such masterful driving machines is capable of building such a PoS driver user interface is still a mystery to me.

Great poster, Michelle. Made me smile.
