BMW iDrive has versions 1 to 9, and now the newest really is OS X.
Yeah I read that now too. I just thought that it was weird that they went from “System 7…” up to “OS X” just like Apple did. But it’s just very plausible coincidence.
"Death" in mandarin is "Si". "4" is also "si", so it is considered a very unlucky number and nobody wants it in their phone number and other stuff.
"10" is "shi" which is close enough to "Si" that many people don't like it and will avoid it.
Number based gotta be one of my favorite superstition flavors.
I'm not superstitious. But I am a little stitious.
