The new 2011 BMW 1 Series Coupe and Convertible are the first BMW models to enable access to some of the most used social networking tools, Facebook and Twitter.

Along with these capability, the new 1er facelift also offers access to internet-based radio stations. This is yet another indication that BMW along with other automakers are turning their marketing efforts towards the online medium and are looking to capitalize on the large user population that Facebook and Twitter have.

The two popular social networking platforms are reported to have combined over 700 millions active users every month.

It is expected that BMW will introduce similar capabilities and features in the upcoming models and facelifts.

This is probably the last thing a distracted driver needs to have in the car. Instead of actually going somewhere, people will sit in the car and update facebook.

From the video it looks like it links to your smartphone so I don;t think its a stand alone feature
Woo Hoo

Great… kids will crash while updating their status. I’ll make sure to avoid 1er vehicles.
