Yeah, true, and I've done that a few times, and have two different windshield mounts as well; but would prefer to, oh, you know, snap it in securely to an existing mechanism that's just waiting for an upgraded piece of plastic to hold the phone. - V .

The iPhone 5 snap-in adapter is actually already available in Europe. We previously posted its details here: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=814703 It's not officially available in the U.S. yet, but will be soon. One of our members on M5POST even ordered a bunch to sell to fellow members, so you may find some for sale in the classifieds or perhaps on ebay (if you can't wait to get it from U.S. dealers once it's officially available).

I got to play with an early release a couple of months back and it was pretty cool. The version I saw DID display g force or lap times etc on the dash, but there was also an option to blank the screen with the ///M logo so it is less distracting. Not sure what the final release looks like, but hopefully it is still an option.

I know it uses the car sensors for throttle, brake and steering, but are we sure it uses the cars GPS signal? Is the car's GPS better or worse than the phones? If it's using the phone's you would want to mount the phone on the windshield for better line of sight for the signal, but that would mean a cord running into the center console.

This is pretty sweet.
I spent way too much time arguing with some of my fellow 1M owners about the cost/benefit of saving a few thousand bucks and a few pounds by eschewing Nav and BMW Apps. One of my main arguments was that BMW Apps was going to become a lot more than just something for streaming Pandora. It's good to be right occasionally.

problem for me is, I want this, but I have a CCC, for me to retrofit all this will cost me a cool $3k, not worth it to me at this point, I can spend $3k on mods and I rarely use the navigation to realize the benefits of CIC, mostly I use it to check real time traffic and sometimes i actually use it for turn by turn directions.

Here in south Africa, they will cancel your motorplan. The plan here is 5 years/ 100k Kms, think you guys are a bit less, assuming you in the states.

It's 4 years / 50K miles for the warranty -- but wow, they void it if you take these cars to the track, even for instructor-guided HPDEs? And even M cars?! Seems to defeat the point of owning cars like this, not to mention fly completely in the face of BMW's M3 marketing slogans like "Racecars shouldn't be confined to racetracks."

simple question-
how do you know if your car has BMW apps? i'm using a droid so haven't paid attention, but this app looks fantastic and may need to borrow the wife's iphone on spirited drives...

Oh wow, this is amazing.
The only time I wish I had ordered nav and apps. I guess my next M car will have it.

It is 94 degrees F in Houston right now -- that's "summer."
Where's the darn app? - V .

You trying to use it for a track day at the end of the month? I'm trying to be be patient. That car will not see the track until August, so I'm in less of a rush, except I know they have it, so I want it sooner.
