That DVD option will only play audio files recorded on a DVD and played in the Nav drive. Unless you have the CIC in which case it will play DVDs as well.

Have you actually tried and verified this? I have tried and it did not work....in my 2005 E60
Maybe it required "special" format? I took DVD and burned mp3 on it...and no luck

your idrive has to be updated with a newer software that supports mp3 capability. take it to the dealer, they'd have to code it and then you can try your mp3 cd or dvd. it'll work.

My 2004 E60 was coded for MP3 to support the BMW iPod interface. The CD drive will play MP3 files on CD-R and the DVD drive will play MP3 files on DVD-R. The disc format in both cases is ISO 9660:1999. The MP3 files and directory structure is copied over from my iTunes music library.
