OK. Very cool but how do you drive and control all that thru I-drive. I can barely respond to an email on my Treo while driving. This system is a sure accident waiting to happen but I must admit, if it was available in the states, I'd get it in a second.

Thanks for posting the pics Andy. I'd heard of BMW online but never saw what it looked like.

Pretty cool...

Probably same reason why iDrive TV isn't offered here, potential lawsuits if owners crash?

Or maybe its simply because BMW NA sucks big **** so we never get any of the cool stuff:
M Sport Suspension
M Sport Steering Wheel
BMW Individual
Real LC on the M5
Bi-Turbo Diesel Engines
Truffle Brown Interior
Amethyst Interior
Light Poplar Wood Trim
Barbera Red Exterior
Carbon Black Exterior
Auto-Folding Mirrors

...to name a few.
