PEOPLE: THIS IS NOT ABOUT SUBSTITUTING IOS to iDRIVE.
BMW is being offered the option to give its customers who are Apple products users the choice.
It will be built in but no one will force the user to put up the iOS UI if they don't want to.
I would like to see BMW make iDrive much faster and reduce the lag to close to 0 sec throughout the system.
I have also used the new iDrive Touch and I have seen no reason to be impressed if you are not inputing Asian characters (which is faster than the controller method because it can narrow down possible matches from the strokes).
Last BMW should think about a way to keep its iDrive system current across car generations and designs via software update, at least to cars from the last 5 year models.
