Oh great, TV in the car, and I thought cellphones were bad. What happened to the joy of DRIVING?
You're damn right.

Yeah i don't quite understand why BMW, among many manufacturers, place such an huge emphasis on useless technology such as TVs, sat-nav etc in a car. I mean, i-Drive is a joke and the massive amount of functions offered on it will hardly ever be used, if at all.

BMW should get back to making the "Ultimate Driving Machine" rather than the "The Machine That Ultimately Drives You".

Value and BMW aren't usually synonymous either. But yeah, screw the tech stuff. I care about BMW being the "Ultimate Driving Machine" If I want overly teched from a country that doesn't know how to do it, I'd buy a Benz. Stupid electronic braking on the E-class was driving me nuts again today. I actually screamed at the car. Totally confused my g/f.
