So, over the last weekend, I finally finished the project of mounting a laptop in my bimmer.

I used following article as my reference point, and went from there:

Now that I have the laptop installed, I wanted to see what cool applications people may have installed in their laptops, that come in handy in the car. My primary motivation was GPS and mp3s. Also, my area has free wifi (thanks to google), so I can park anywhere and check email etc.
