Good stuff!
I sure hope at some point automakers will start making interchangeable technology hardware. You can't run iOS8 on the original iPhone, so one would assume you can't run the latest iDrive software on an older iDrive system.
I guess what I'm getting at is for people into technology, buying a CPO or used BMW really feels like a major compromise as compared to new due to the evolving technologies that stem from both software as well as the hardware it takes to run such technology. If the hardware were more easily upgradable it wouldn't be such a compromise. Expensive, sure, but find a way to wrap it up into the financing and I bet a lot of consumers would just say to "do it."
As much as a smart-phone can do in a tiny package, it shouldn't be completely unreasonable to think this should be possible at some point.
