Agreed.

I also think it'll be a $500 "Enhanced Navigation & Phone Integration" option atop the pricey Tech package too. People forget that BMW signed a lengthy contract with Nokia/Navteq just two years ago and Nav is a very profitable option for them. I'll get CarPlay when it's available, but no one should think it's going to be a cheap way to avoid the stick-on vent mount they're currently using.
