Actually, as far as I know, the internet access (to browse websites from the car) is not available in North America anyway. Even though I am getting the iDrive controller in the back, there will be no internet access. At least not yet. They told me that the software is not ready for the NA market. I think this may also have something to do with service agreements between BMW and all the different Cell service providers. At least the good news is (at least for me), that if they would ever make this available, it should be a simple software upgrade to enable that feature (and obviously more money for BMW as you have to pay a subscription/usage fee for the internet service). Speeds would be equivalent to browsing the internet on a cell phone via the EDGE service.
