I just don't think BMW needs to "keep up", because the majority of BMW buyers likely don't consider the gadget factor to be a major buying decision point.
Driving experience stinks when you get lost.

The MyBMW Remote iOS app with Google send-to-car feature is ridiculously handy. Especially for finding directions to someplace vague, like an airport (never a good street address associated with it), or even something like the closest Starbucks.

If BMW can't keep up in areas like this, competitors like Audi are ready to jump right in. Don't think that BMW wouldn't lose sales over handy features like this.
