Welcome to the forum!
Do a quick search, there is a lengthy thread about iPod integration.

Go to the DIY section. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see a tiny search box. Type in "iPod Interface" or "iPod Integration" and hit enter. Many useful and informative threads will appear. Try that. Don't be shy, you can do it...

WELCOME to the forum. Glad to see you got the memo - every new member is required to ask the following in their first posts: iPod question (at least one), optional tire sizes (at least one), and the difference between LCI and pre-LCI cars, thank you for your cooperation.
That said, pics of the new baby are appreciated, and if you weren't planning to mod your car, well, you are now.

I believe the ipod integration runs $300+ but what I have that you could do alternatively for around $30 is buy an iTrip (Target, Radio Shack, Best Buy etc.). I have one, and it works really well though the radio. I also believe there are models that you plug into your DC port and it charges your iPod as well. Just a suggestion, welcome to the forums.

This is the article you are looking for, I fitted mine a few months back. I have 2004 525D and I had to get the software updated to August 10 2006 version.
