I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it appears that the AutoSpies rumor of iPhone integration into the new BMW 7-series is a hoax - well the image is anyways.  Knowing that I could find the source image on Google Images, I searched for “BMW navigation” and it came up on the 9th page.  Looks like all they did was do a bit of Photoshop (as expected) to fool everyone (see original below).

I’m not saying that a deal between Apple and BMW is not possible, but all we have to go on at this point is a tip and an image, and the image is indeed a fake.  Here’s an excerpt from the AutoSpies post:

Reliable sources tell us there are rumors that BMW will be the first to announce full integration of the iPhone features into the next 7-Series.
