I don't think there is anything in what was quoted about doing the thumb drive thing while driving... and besides what makes you think that the car only goes 70 mph? It actually has to start at 0 mph and progress up to whatever speed you feel comfortable with.
In my M3 refresh, I removed the thumb drive that was already in the USB port in the glove compartment, added another partition "Music", reinserted it and in the infotainment screen a new icon shaped like a USB thumb drive showed up and now I have all my favorite (and some unfavorite) music that I can play whenever I want to. Very easy to do. Just as simple as emergency gas on the first car I owned, a Karmen Ghia. It didn't even have a gas gauge, when I ran out of gas, I just used my foot to turn a lever on the firewall and had another 20 miles or so. But like all things that are new, you have to know how to do it.
