BMW really needs to make this stuff known WELL in advance or stop all of this crap about not being able to add OEM parts later. They're friggin OEM. Ugh...

I spoke with a friend of mine at my dealership who went to M3 training several months ago. I missed the class because I had deliveries that day. He told me that in late September or October you will be able to log onto BMW USA and download the update onto a flash drive and get a lot of the features that will be available to the new 2011 models. I am not sure what version of iDrive you will need but I am fairly certain if it happens, it will work on all current generations if not earlier, as well.
