DC own 30% of EADS, which has 80% stake in Airbus.
That makes DC a 24% owner of Airbus.

On a serious note I am into aviation and find this extremely interesting.

The A350 is essentially another A330-340 aicraft with minor changes. This is going to be interesting and I wonder why BMW, or even a car manufacturer. I know that they have to thin out the interior of the aircraft and have to make it thinner but still retain the insulation that the 330-340 have.

I highly doubt that we are going to see any bmw seats in this aircraft, that of course would be ridiculous. Nevertheless I think that the ergonimics of the cabin will be BMW, but no one will be able to tell. You have to remember that BMW has worked with aircraft engines in the past and also has a good design team when it comes to designing buildlings for the company.

I doubt it, you can either programme it or use voice command

Yes, you can choose between 3507HP, or just 3400!
