BMW To Drop iDrive Compatibility Standard For Custom Apple UI?

Edward Kirk · December 18th, 2007, 08:20 PM

According to Autospies, BMW will be abandoning their current iDrive system standard for interoperability of Apple products in their upcoming project in favor of a new, top-secret interface that they have collaborated directly with Apple in creating.

As of yet, there is no information on the specifics of the interface, but Autospies insinuates that they are working with Steve himself in it's creation. They do mention something about a clickwheel being built into the steering wheel that would control a slick software UI, but take that with a grain of salt.
