I've got a UK 2003 530i with CD changer, business NAV, AUX port in the glovebox and my NAV DVD slot plays mp3 disks.
Would I be right in saying the iPod interface would just work if I replaced the CD changer with it?

I just called my dealership and their response is a bit conflicting. I wonder if any of you guys can help me out. I have a 2008 528i with no NAV but I can play mp3 cd's (no cd changer). I was quoted $355 for the iPod adapter and was told I will not be able to do it myself. Does my iDrive need reprogramming? Or does the ipod menu show up under the CD menu?

Great forum and thread. Unfortunately found it too late. I just purchased an 07 530I (single CD but prewired for changer). I did the DIY Ipod upgrade $299 for MOST interface kit. I couldn't get it to work or show up on Idrive. The BMW logo was on my Ipod and everything. Took it to my local dealer they "reprogrammed" it in for a grand total of $300. It works great now! Feeling a little shafted about the BMW dealer labor though. Will visit this site OFTEN! Thanks
