Believe it or not, it was done very early on, before E-Sys was "available" to the public, as a means to enable Video In Motion.

Back then the password was cracked, and you could Telnet in and and use the QNX Software Developmental Kit to access the files. As I recall, FTP would not work. Somewhere around a year ago, BMW changed the password scheme, and since then it has not been cracked, and with E-Sys readily "available" now, no one bothers anymore to try and get into it.

If you want to know more, I can send you a link where this was discussed. Just PM me.
