Which BMW models have wireless Apple CarPlay?
If you follow the wonderful world of cars, chances are that you’ve heard of Apple’s CarPlay feature. The system allows drivers to interact with their iPhone without taking their eyes off the road – a safer solution to phone usage in vehicles. The ability to utilize this technology used to require a USB cord, but now, thanks for the innovative spirit from one of our favorite manufacturer’s, drivers can connect wirelessly to their device.
About the BMW Spyder Concept
The i8 Spyder Concept is a plug-in hybrid model, which would potentially allow consumers to go 78 miles before needing to stop for gas. The powerful engine system, which includes lithium-ion batteries, has potential to produce up to 354 horsepower. While that numbers is already impressive, the production model has potential to output a whopping 400 horsepower! If that isn’t enough to impress, we don’t know what is. In addition, the concept model was designed to be able to be front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, making the possibilities endless for drivers.

Word on the street is that the i8 will make it to production by 2018, which is less than two years away.
