portable stereo, tv, dvdplayer, mp3player, and storage solar powered device?

noro · 12-30-2006, 02:43 PM

whatever it is, it's not going to be worth the money... I think

maybe BMW finally started listening to everyone's complaints and tried to simplify the i-Drive system

Maybe it will (via bt) sync up to idrive and transpose our navigation, and cellphone address book into a multimedia center. I don't think bt can transmit that sort of data as quickly as would be needed however.

for me i love it, I-Drive system is easy to use ...

MacAttack · 12-30-2006, 05:55 PM

The video was cool but it obviously didn't tell us squat. Marketing ploy....keeps you guessing with the hopes of great anticipation/arrival. Just not working for me. Besides....I'm still going through the drivers manual to figure out all the details.

More than llikely a new UI for the I-Drive system........... product pictures are teasers designed to show functionality.

Or they have decided to take on the Consumer Electronics industry!!!

SoYank · 12-31-2006, 08:17 AM

The video went by so quickly the only thing I saw was a camer and what looked like a replacement for the in-dash cup holder.

RiXst3r · 12-31-2006, 12:21 PM

My guess is that its a removable in-dash DAP, iPod, iDrive stereo thing, that either comes as an option in future cars, or a replacement/accessory for current bmw's

Mr.F1 Fan · 12-31-2006, 01:02 PM

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest, like some others, that this is yet anothoer step in the direction of portable personalization which perhaps can be connected to a home PC and customized with music, maybe video, phone settings and numbers as well as other personal information which could be useful to the i-drive system and the driver once connected to your BMW. I guess we may know soon enough!

SP330 · 12-31-2006, 03:21 PM

An electronic device? From BMW? Oh God.

bavarian19 · 12-31-2006, 03:30 PM

OOOO where can I put down a deposit on this electronic Thingamabobber

WTH... Tell me what it is...

obLu · 12-31-2006, 04:40 PM

If it is a piece of consumer electronics that attaches to the car, like the simple ipod interface, even after it's announced what it is we'll be waiting for it for 2+ years. And by the time it arrives it'll be horribly outdated technology.

Car companies just can't move fast enough in the world of consumer electronics to make a difference.

Norsk · 01-16-2007, 03:17 PM

Well, It's the New 3 and 5 Door 1 Series.

Yehhhh
