It would have to be a hardcore conversion. Maybe removing the entire area where the short cut buttons are or the radio if you don't have idrive. Maybe something like the 430 scuderia, but it would need to have an articulated holder so that you can turn it towards the driver and/or towards the passenger. People have upgraded the CPU to accept a laptop and control much more than music and navigation so the iPad could definitely be used 100% of the time and not just for music and movies.

So why exactly do you need an iPad integrated in the car?

I guess you have to wait a few years .... for BMW to add it as an option or trade her in for a Mercedes CLS they make provision for it, only not for the driver to play games LOL

I think you might be missing the point of a roadster. The purpose of the car is to put the top down and enjoy driving the car not to watch movies. Don't get me wrong I like electronic gizmos too, but watching movies in a roadster? The car is supposed to be the entertainment. Drive your big SUV or limo if you must watch movies while in a car. Besides, people that watch movies while driving should be banned from the road. Bad enough with all these kids texting while driving, but watching movies? Come on. </rant> Quote:

I got an iPad and immediately thought of plugging it into the iPod cables but then one side of my brain said "WTF" and I forgot that idea......:LOL
