hmm, looks very april the 1stish doesn't it.

Sounds like an odd move from BMW too, they would be assuming we all like iPODs and the demographic buyer of BMW's probably doesn't even know what one is.

Anyway it's not the Control interface that needs vamping it's the Visual one !

I'm intrigued to find out tho !

Actually, Apple revamping the visual interface would make more sense...

Hmm dunno if we'll see this, though if you think about it i-Drive and i-Pod interfaces are not that different actually (rotary controller, push, click etc). So maybe?
