If somebody knew how to interpret the iDrive CANBUS output and plug that into a FE to act as an HID either by way of a FusionBrain or other controller you could have a fully integrated system.
The PC components is the easy part of the problem...controlling the Carputer is the tricky piece I think.
Personally I wouldn't want a second screen.
