BMW a pioneer?

For technology at least, maybe not recently, but iDrive in general is one of the best infotainment systems available and BMW has introduced a bunch of features that other cars now use not just infotainment as well, although like I said, not recently, but when it comes to tech, yes.
You are dreaming.

A 2009 Toyota had a better NAV System than the 2009ish CIC or 2013ish NBT. BMW only beat the 2009 Toyota with the NBT EVO in 2015-2016.

And let's not forget it took BMW until the 2nd half of 2017 get a 6WB (optional) for the F30 series and never for the F80s. About half a Decade after other brands.

BMW a Pioneer....lol....that's the best joke this week.
Pioneer does not refer to how good something was, to which I never said the first iDrive was good, but to being the first. BMW when it comes to tech, not just infotainment, but engine tech, controls, etc. Has been at least in the past, one of the first when it comes to certain things. I said in my post that they aren't now or recently, but they were definitely pioneers in the past specifically the 90's and 00's.
