Internet browsing has been available for a few years in Europe. I had it in my E70 with a retrofited Euro spec CIC. The internet connection was from my cellular phone but not carrier related, you just need a phone that is capable of doing internet tethering over bluetooth. Not sure if you are referring to that or a different option in the new iDrive and if will ever be available in USA (?).
