In this case, work is nearly complete on you being able to control your iPod Touch (and, we're guessing, your iPhone) and all of its applications using the same Apple interface on the car's console screen. <br /> <br /> Not only might it make navigation of your music files easier, but it would make any application you download for your iPod Touch immediately usable in your Bimmer. BMW doesn't give much away in terms of how this all comes together, but does say that the feature will be available on BMW's as soon as early 2011. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/09/video-bmws-idrive-gets-improved-ipod-functionality/#continued">Follow the jump</a> to see the vid.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/09/video-bmws-idrive-gets-improved-ipod-functionality/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Video: BMW's iDrive gets improved iPod functionality</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/09/video-bmws-idrive-gets-improved-ipod-functionality/">Video: BMW's iDrive gets improved iPod functionality</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:01:00 EST.

BMW celebrates 25 years of M3

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>1986 BMW M3 - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> It's been 25 years since the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3">BMW M3</a> first hit the scene. During that time, the car has evolved from a bantamweight fighter capable of taking on heavy hitters of the sports car world to the yardstick that the rest of the segment is measured. In the process, it has shed its bulging, steroid-riddled fenders for smoother sheet metal and abandoned its four cylinder engine for an out of this world aluminum mill with twice the pots, but its essence as a well-balanced sports coupe remains. <br /> <br /> The transformation wasn't easy. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/">BMW</a> sent the car through innumerable trials on the tracks and trails of the motorsports world, and the mean little <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/3+series">3 Series</a> quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with on the grid. <br /> <br /> BMW has commemorated its wicked child's birthday by recounting the tale of the car's conception. Don't worry: it's a lot less repulsive than listening to your parents yak on about how you came around. The tale is filled with the origins of the car's 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, including where the engineers managed to source parts and the like. It's well worth your time if you've got a second.

Spy Shots: BMW 1 Series M Coupe shows off its insides
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/spyphotos/" rel="tag">Spy Photos</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/coupes/" rel="tag">Coupe</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sports/" rel="tag">Performance</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/luxury/" rel="tag">Luxury</a></p><a href="http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=406542"> <img vspace="4" hspace="0" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/07/1mconcept01.jpg" /></a><br />
<br /> In true <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/bmw">BMW</a> new model roll-out fashion, the hype surrounding the hotter <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/1+series+m">1 Series M Coupe</a> has been exceedingly well documented. We've <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/13/spy-shots-and-video-bmw-m1-1-series-m-laps-the-ring/">spied the car</a> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/12/spy-shots-hi-po-bmw-1-series-prototype-flashes-quad-tailpipes-t/">out testing</a>, BMW has shown us <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/08/video-bmw-teases-1-series-m-coupe/">videos of the prototypes</a> and now the folks at <a href="http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=406542"> 1addicts.com</a> have snapped some shots of the M-badged 1's interior, showing a host of upgrades that stand true to the car's beefed up dynamics.<br /> <br /> Changes to the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/1+series">1 Series</a> interior include items like more supportive sport seats, a smaller-diameter steering wheel (from the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/m3">M3</a>) and two-tone instrument cluster gauges. What's more, we can see the integration of BMW's latest iDrive system in the 1 Coupe, but our favorite part is indeed the fact that a manual gearbox is in place. Dual-clutch setups are nice, but we love being able to shift for ourselves.<br /> <br /> In addition to these spy shots, we've also come across the first <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6FNlxtTAhQ">in-car test video</a> of the 1 Series M Coupe, showing what sort of prowess this little hottie has out on the track. Stop teasing us, BMW - we're ready to conduct our own evaluation. Looking for more shots of the interior?

BMW Frozen Gray M3 paint a pain, owners must sign agreement about its care?

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>2011 BMW M3 Frozen Gray Coupe - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> If you were one of the 30 Bimmerphiles to snag a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/17/bmw-releases-2011-m3-frozen-gray-coupe-for-the-u-s/">2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe</a> last month, expect to fill out another round of paperwork before you take delivery of your new matte gray baby.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/">BMW</a> is apparently requiring all owners to sign a "maintenance agreement" that insists the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3">M3</a> is never polished or waxed, ran through an automatic car wash or even strongly rubbed. Additionally, BMW politely asks that you immediately remove bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and fuel spills with a soft sponge, and naturally, dealers are more than willing to sell you appropriate products for maintaining the matte finish. <br /> <br /> According to enthusiast site Bimmerfest, BMW explicitly states the M3's warranty won't cover any damage due to owner neglect and it notes that all exterior repairs must be performed by a BMW-authorized shop. What's more, if you don't sign the agreement, no Frozen Grey M3 for you. That's a lot of disclaimers. All of which could be easily solved for less if you simply went down to your local custom vinyl shop and wrapped your (decidedly less expensive) standard M3 in a 3M coating. But how do you put a price on exclusivity? <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-m3-frozen-gray-coupe/">2011 BMW M3 Frozen Gray Coupe</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-m3-frozen-gray-coupe/#3091989"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/01-2011-bmw-frozen-gray-m3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-m3-frozen-gray-coupe/#3091990"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/02-2011-bmw-frozen-gray-m3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-m3-frozen-gray-coupe/#3091991"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/03-2011-bmw-frozen-gray-m3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-m3-frozen-gray-coupe/#3091992"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/04-2011-bmw-frozen-gray-m3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-m3-frozen-gray-coupe/#3091993"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/05-2011-bmw-frozen-gray-m3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5311508# post5311508">Bimmerfest</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/13/bmw-frozen-gray-m3-paint-a-pain-owners-must-sign-agreement-abou/">BMW Frozen Gray M3 paint a pain, owners must sign agreement about its care?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:58:00 EST.
