I think that it's unlikely that BMW will do a lot to take advantage of the iPhone 4's antenna placement. They are probably just going to make a cradle that fits. Some people say that they don't even reception improvement with the iPhones in the cradles. Also, based on the history of the iPhone integration with the USB and 6FL adapter and then having to have a whole separate Eject box and Adapter, I don't think that BMW tries nearly hard enough on the iPhone integration.

All that being said, I hope that get this iPhone 4 snap-in adapter ASAP. My iPhone 3G adapter is useless to me now...
