(GPS, radio, cellphone, and settings).   I typically keep it split on GPS and radio.  I want ways to interface to the cars computer with some other external device most likely through bluetooth.  Examples might be address book in my cellphone to the car addressbook for the GPS or down loading car data to be saved like the trip computer on my phone.  That way when I email the bmw service guy he knows what the problems are with my car or he knows when a scheduled maintenance is coming up.  Most important I would like my iPod to play video on one of the screens. 

Someone out there hacking the BMW iDrive systems?  I have seen some small things on forums like changing the boot logo.
