This afternoon, BMW will be the first automaker to announce a fully integrated system for Apple’s brand-new iPhone.

Initially, BMW will only offer integration for U.S. models, but with international sales of the iPhone a given, BMW is likely to extend the technology across to other markets.

I don’t plan on owning either; but - what the hell!

According to Edmunds, the option will be available on the 1 Series Coupe which goes on sale in the U.S. in the spring of 2008, and will be available in two versions: the 128i and the 135i.

Update: If you just unpacked your iPhone and you’ve got yourself a BMW 3 and 5 Series with 03/07 production, the X5 with 04/07 production and the 6 Series with 09/07 production dates equipped with an iPod/USB interface — guess what? You’ll be able to drop the iPhone into your ride and faster than you can say “Boom!” in your best German accent — you’ll be good to go.
