BTW
There must be many who have never compared MP3 and CD audio.

This isn't terribly complicated. For the 5er, the existing aux-in jack has been moved into the console (my article of course is not specific to a specific range of BMW btw).
The USB port is next to the existing aux-in, whether it's been moved or not (again, depends on range).

That explains it.

Ah... I see. The existing AUX IN jack can be moved anywhere in the vehicle to a new position. so that it no longer exists where it previously existed...
That explains it.

The adapters will be moved as JSPIRA said and the cables can be replicated without buying from BMW.... simple enough.
Best of luck.
Oh and flame me all you want.... you seem to have nothing better to do.

I agree with JSPIRA, he knows his stuff and is often the first person to see/test these things from BMW. He happens to be a best selling author as well as a CEO of a technology, research, and productivity corporation.
Sure it's next to ANAUX IN - but in an entirley NEW location.
Seems to be pretty hard to grasp for some.
So agree all you like but you know what? We can all be wrong. Even a CEO etc etc...

While in my local dealership having my E90 serviced on Saturday morning I had a chance to browse the 5 LCI brochure and as far as it shows, the existing AUX-IN socket remains in the rear of the centre console. If you choose to add the USB 6FL option it adds the USB socket with another AUX-IN inside the centre console - removing the chiller vent in the process. There is absolutely no mention of it removing the rear AUX-IN socket. Whether this differs in other markets I wouldn't like to say but hope it helps. Unfortunately they didn't have any new models in to look at.

Well, I'll be having a closer look on Wednesday as I have been invited to a peep show at my (new) dealer. I'll better bring my camera, right?

Those without credentials seem to be expecting two AUX INs.

I would be happy if I am mistaken about this - we would get two for the price of one!
