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.

Okay so I'm being very dumb here but where can I find the OEM kit? How much does it cost? And will my dealer charge to update it? Thank you so much I aspire to be as 5-series savvy as all of you some day.

Here's the kit:
http://www.aftermarketbulbsshop.com/category-s/254.htm

Since your vehicle is out of warranty, they'll probably wanna charge you for the programing. You have to get the CDC option enabled and look in your glovebox where the fuse panel is and find a cable covered with black wrap. In this wrapping you'll find the optical input and output cables that fit in the power adapter module which should also be in the glovebox.

There's a long iPod integration thread with step by step DIY that's very good. Just finished doing the work a few days ago and it took me 15 minutes.

If you already have a CD changer..it should simplify the process

Thank you so much! Jeez I can't believe this people charge roughly $300 for this. I paid less for my ipod itself! Thank you all anyways!!

PM me if you need help. I went through this on my 04 and it was hell. No one documented this correctly. I still remember what to do.
