BMW to trump video iPod with new device in mid-January?

It's just a teaser for upcoming E81 3dr 1-series SportsHatch.

Btw, from March on BMW vehicles will feature in-dash integrated USB port for USB flash & MP3 players - to listen to the music from such devices via car's HI-FI system.

becides stupid what is it?

Im waiting for the integrated iPod USB port slated for Start of Production March,2007 before ordering my new car. The above items have piqued my interest. I hope they are able to fully inegrate with Nav and non Nav BMWs. Interesting designs....

you can get it in the Audi now

tightest intagration in the industry

That left me with "????" but thanks for clarifying timE.

On a BMW side note, x5world reports that the side window shades on E70 X5s are not the proper size, so they removed that part from the rear climate package and it will not be fitted to any X5 until March, FYI. They had an Italian company make them, and they screwed up.

Oh, and 001, when will we see this year's 2006 Autospies Black List? Have I missed it?

The 2006 AutoSpies.com Black list hits the net on January 2nd, 2007.

cool! Thanks

What is the black list?

Just like Mr. Blackwell's 'Worst dressed list' the Spies compile their version of the duds out there in the automotive marketplace.

They might want to bump up the colors from 65,000 to 232,000.

Its a Bimmer-Pod how nice

That's pretty cool. For those of us who already have the video ipod, could somebody make a docking station for the center console in the e92? Thank you.
