Ha!

I could just see it now.

On a further note, since you can access the web in the car, things like mapquest will replace your navigation, right?

Or will the navigation be required in order to have the internet?

You know, bundle things so you have to pay for it all. No cutting corners.

You still need a gps antenna and I bet you dont get full internet access. so count the web2.0 google map out, instead there will probably be a hardware specific google map service. you will probably have to pay bmw as a service provider for internet. I don't see bmw shoot itself in the foot to create competition for its 2100 cash cow from nav option. Without a keyboard it's painful to surf the web on idrive dail.

Amen to that, I would settle for just the google maps send to car feature, but this would be even better!

I don't see how our current iDrive systems will be able to handle this. As in the article a new HD screen will be used. I agree this is will insane if we in the US get it. I hope it comes out soon. I am hopefully getting an 09 335i and am looking forward to the this update and the upcoming face lift for the e90. Def something to keep my eyes on.
