    In a rare act of cooperation not seen in almost 70 years, BMW has offered Control to the French, who quickly dubbed their version "Vichy".

    A quick babelfish lookup taught me that "Musiksuche" means "music search", not "sucky music" as I originally feared.

    If they really wanted to compete more directly with SYNC, they could have called it Wasch-beckon.

    It doesn't really care what you say. It's going to invade Poland anyway.

    Too soon?

    "The new system comes in a wide range of languages and is available in Germany and Austria, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, and the USA."


    Sorry Canada. You don't get this.


    Of course, there's only like one road in Canada, so it's nearly impossible to get lost.

    I met a German girl from England who was going to school in France.


    Unlike her, this is stupid, expensive, complicated and prone to breakage. How about making a car that's great to drive instead?

    Easter Egg: Say "Autobahn, Kraftwerk" and the car takes you to the Munich factory at 155mph.

    I heard that no matter what song you request, the system only plays a tasteful mix of Kraftwerk, Scorpions, and of course, David Hasselhoff.

    @sos10: I stand corrected.. the sisters are from Baden-Württemberg.. not from Bayern. Well, The Mother and Daughter Hellwig then.. They really are from Bayern, and even better!

    @sos10: BMW is headquartered in Munich, across the street from the Olympic Stadium and just down the road from the Allianz stadium. I'd call them Bayerisch. Maybe you're thinking of Porsche or Audi?


    If the radio can call up Nina hagen, I might have to reconsider.
