I just ordered a 530i with Premium Sound. Does anyone know if the sound system will recognize and play CDs containing MP3s?

I don't think so. At least it doesn't play on my Logic 7 system. Maybe they've modified it on the newer models. I'd be interested to see if anyone was able to get MP3s to play on MY2004.

No, it doesn't today, however they are supposedly working on a software fix for this. Who knows when though?!?!?!? They are also supposed to bring back RDS which went MIA in a recent SW release.

According to the brochure when i got mine (early 2004) the pro radio has MP3 playback, but i dont think the softwares there yet. Have had a couple of updates, but no avail

I suppose all we can do is badger BMW....

I don't think they will get all these promised features and glitches fixed untill the next body style change.
