BMW ConnectedDrive: PH Ad Break

Why do you need internet access in a BMW? To undertake a bank job, obviously

---

A video entitled 'Big Business. Thanks to BMW ConnectedDrive' seems fairly innocuous. Perhaps a trader is using the internet in their BMW to check stocks, or maybe a property developer wants to research an area en route.

Both viable, but perhaps a tad predictable. So instead BMW has decided in all its wisdom to imply that ConnectedDrive can help the armed robbery division of your 'Big Business'. Seriously.

It's all by implication. However, the combination of one driver, three men disguised as clowns and a quick check using ConnectedDrive of the bank's opening times make the intentions rather blatant. It's all rather last minute for a robbery to our eyes though, which rather suggests a lack of planning...

See here.

Time for someone at BMW to give the green light to a new series of short films.

Another pointless item added to the options list..............
When will they instal coffee machines in cars save me having to queue at costa-packet.

I have no idea why we don't already have a coffee machine option for new cars. Machines are already available in a myriad of sizes and designs, not to mention hot and boiling water taps. And anything with an engine generates heat, not to mention batteries are getting larger and larger so powering a tiny espresso machine would be a doddle. Add to that the potential to carry some water and it's a no brainer. I know campers have them but it would need to be even smaller in a car. The only problems I see is keeping the whole thing clean, which will mean having a removable or part removable system, and making sure the water only heats on up demand (e.g. through some hot piping or summat!). The cups would have to be small and possibly partly enclosed to limit spillage. Now to find a way of stopping people from making an espresso while driving at 100mph, but that's where common sense comes in.

Hope the chaps working on the S-class Pullman are reading this. Chuck in a microwave too.

I'm going to put this up on Kickstarter...
