The first 2 features are useless. Who wants to twitter and make facebook posts while driving? Do we really need web radio? The car already has the option of sirius, mp3, hd radio, cd, streaming pandora. Apple user interface sounds cool but the current system works just fine.
Agree on lack of interest in FB and Twitter, but disagree on web radio and more importantly, future apps and integration. If this option allows for the phone to drive the apps and the car to be the output device, I am interested. Anything that removes the car having to update to the phones current capability will speed up availability. What is being touted is a phone capability can be available on the cat without waiting for BMW to catch up.
