I must admit - the Google Maps thing is great and I must admit that I do use the google news and weather page - have even set it as a short cut.

However, when the car is 3 years old I don't think I will be paying the extra for the privilage (although I would have been happy to pay £50.)

Not sure what BMWs logic is in setting the price so high no one seems to be prepared to pay it!

Bit like their sat nav discs!

Exactly - I don't know if it is a failing in their market research in order to set the price, or simple greed. I guess there must be a cost to providing the service - all those concierges sat there twiddling their thumbs 24 hrs a day!

I would be happy for a 2 tier service paying £50 for the internet connectivity alone.
