Apple reportedly approached BMW over using i3 as basis for its electric car
Apple approached BMW last year regarding its rumored electric car project, reports German business magazine Manager. The publication says that Tim Cook and other senior executives visited the i3 assembly plant in Leipzig, Germany during "autumn 2014" to discuss the possibility of using the i3 as the basis for its own vehicle.
For those who aren't familiar with the i3, it's BMW's urban 5-door electric car that looks like a hatchback from the future.

Watch the first trailer for the provocative ‘Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine’ documentary
A new movie about Apple's legendary co-founder, titled 'Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine,' is scheduled to open in select theaters in less than two weeks and Mashable today released the first official trailer which provides an early look into the forthcoming documentary.
In addition to exploring the impact of Steve Jobs’ work on the society and our embrace of computers and technology, the 120-minute nonfictional documentary plays off the controversies that had surrounded Jobs' persona for many years.
Directed by Alex Gibney, it apparently paints the picture of a “bold, brilliant and brutal” Steve Jobs, the description which did not sit well with Apple's Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services, Eddy Cue, who called it “an inaccurate and mean-spirited view of my friend” and ”not a reflection of the Steve I knew.”
