iPod Your BMW Now Official
Appearing on Apple's website today is the official release of the iPod Your BMW campaign that had been previously rumored, thread and had also appeared earlier in a magazine advertisement
Connect with music like never before behind the wheel of your BMW 3 Series, and X3 and X5 SAV, Z4 Roadster or MINI. With the installation of an integrated adapter developed by Apple and BMW, you can now control your iPod or iPod mini through the existing audio system and multi-function steering wheel. Which means no loss of power. No loss of sound quality. No loss of control.

Looks very cool. Not as intrusive as I thought it would be. Nice plus for BMW owners of the supported models and new models. I wonder if other car manufacturers are being set up as well. Start another revolution. ;)

They should have made the BMW logo on the steering wheel function as a scroll wheel for the iPod.

http://www.apple.com/ipod/bmw/ is not up yet, but the link is on the page. Note to project manager: Do a test run first.
But by looking and the pics, there is no dock for the iPod? You just plug it in the glove box. There should be an optional mount kit for external access.
Cool news though. It came out earlier than I expected. I guess this is not good enough to be announced at the WWDC. The WWDC must have some super announcements. 1 week to go.
BTW, I'll wait until Apple partners up with another car manufacturer.

Might I add that is the worest commerical, very poor apple...

A bit humorous that they point to ipodyourbmw.com but the site is still inactive.

This is really not an adequate solution, one has to reach over to plug the ipod in. Then it is not properly secured in. Once in, the user has no real control of the iPod, 5 playlists? What about all the other 40 GB+ music? A vague stab without the expected apple touch. Shame
