BMW just released a new interface, which might charge the iphone too. If not, there is an adapter called scosche you can purchase that will allow for iphone charging.

If you've experienced the error message
"Charging is not supported with this accessory" on your iPod
or iPhone while using an iPod docking station, this device
will resolve the issue and allow your iPod or iPhone to charge.
or
The Scosche passPORT USB charging adapter allows accessories that do not support USB charging to work with iPod and iPhone.
Using passPORT is simple:
1. Plug the dock connector into the female side of the passPORT.
2. Plug the passPORT adapter into your iPod or iPhone.
3. Select a song from your iPod or iPhone and begin enjoying your music while charging
Great for Vehicle iPod Accessories
The passPORT is perfect for older car integration accessories that don't support charging for the iPhone 3G and iPod models released in September 2008 or later. The passPORT is compatible with: several aftermarket head-units as well as Acura, Audi, Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ferrari, Ford, Honda, Hummer, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Jeep, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Mercury, Mini Cooper, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Pontiac, Porsche, Rolls Royce, Saab, Saturn, Scion, Suzuki, Toyota, Volvo, and VW. (Not compatible with select Pioneer head-units that use the CD-iB100 or CD-i200 iPod to IP-Bus adapter.)
Note: The passPORT is specifically designed to fix the charging error associated with several iPod and iPhone accessories. If the accessory you are intending to use does not initially support the audio or video functionality of the iPod or iPhone, the passPORT will not enable these features.
Note: I just ordered this(the first[top] one). I'm planning on putting it on the drink tray rather than on the ash tray. DIY to follow.

I have an 06 550i with no Nav and no cd changer. Also tested the MP3 and it doesn't recognize them.
So based on my reading, I will need to get the Mp3 thing done under warranty and have the dealer activate the IPOD also.
How much am I looking spending at the dealer for to activate the IPOD? Any experiences?
Thanks
Brian

I did this same install on my 6 when I bought it two months ago. After the install I
remembered I should have taken pics. I would suggest you order the cover which
will fill that HUGE whole in your glovebox. Its only like $10 from the parts dept.
