Internet option

Tried to post to the thread using the X3's iDrive Internet option.

While it is "cool" in
principle, it is utterly useless in reality.

Took me 15 minutes to log in and get to the post reply ...

Wrote my post ... and in the end up waiting for it to post my reply.

Utter waste of money!

I've looked into activating this via coding and getting it to use tethering to my phone (therefore using 3G), but ultimately I wasn't sure it was worth the effort. Far easier just to use the brower on the phone in the first place.
