iPod Your BMW Officially Launched
chasingporsches writes "Apple today announced the iPod Your BMW campaign on their front page. According to the iPod Your BMW page, '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.' There is also a QuickTime TV ad available for streaming. Apparently it only works with 2002 or later BMWs and Minis, and the iPod connects to a cable in the glove compartment."
Rejoice!
Look out for the BMW's with white wing mirrors ;)

the most expensive iPod accessory ever!
I can count to 1023 on my hands. Ask me about #132.
Become the 600th advertiser to mention iPod to get onto the front page of Slashdot.org!
The iPod doesn't even have a fancy cradle or slot to slide into. They just want you to lay it in your glove box. I suppose that BMW owners might be different than me but I don't have any room in my glove box after all the paperwork for the car, the manual, and the road maps (GPS is great, I use it all the time, but it doesn't solve ALL problems), I don't have room for that.
Nothing more then rich, liberal, elite, yuppy, eurotrash, scumbags. Which is exactly why my 2002 325 is getting one as soon as my dealer has them in stock!
i really had no reason to drive my BMW until i read this... thanks apple!
as I hit the horn and spin the wheel maddly in a clockwise direction to cycle through my playlist.
Just put an Apple logo sticker next to that big "R" sticker and you'll hardly tell the difference!

People here will cut their computer cases to pieces, slit ribon cables, attempt avoid burning up their over-clocked processor by putting WATERcooling in the case, but bitch and moan when a cable in their car is in a place they don't want it... Just move it to where you want it.

I just don't understand sometimes...
iPod...nope
BMW...nope
Guess this means nothing to me
If God had had a computer it would have taken him 7 months to create the earth...if he even bothered to do it at all.
if I listened to the droning of the proles. Instead, I'm going out to shoot a peasant or a pheasant. Whichever I find on my estate first.
Hey look at that plain $45,000 x5, not a target.
WAIT JUST A MINUTE! It has a $250 ipod in it! Let's steal this shit guys!
