How come E60 don't have something like this but an E46 does?

I wonder how many e60 sales have been lost because of this "shortfall"?

You're right. But you may be aware that the hardware and software of these systems is entirely different. So it's down to the technical decisions made as part of the marketing decisions.

It's hard to say for sure but I'd be willing to bet that even if you were sharp enough to ask a salesperson if the changer plays MP3 discs, you'd probably get a wrong answer -- especially on the E60 because so many other BMW models do allow them to play from the changer...
The following matrix (from March 2006) shows what cars can play them and from where:

You're right, iPod adapter is the answer, there are still some confustion if iPod adapter can be installed on 04 or 05 car.
If asking for CD/MP3 CD changer, I'd go for iPod which is much better.

I understand about the iPod adapter, but I'm just curious why would BMW make MP3 ready CD changers for other models, like the E46 and not our E60. I find that strange, iPod adapter is just another option.

Sorry to say, this is off topic, and you're a bit late about this. domofnavtv is selling these interfaces, and www.euronavi.co.kr is selling these too. Many members have bought their products and are happy about it. but thanks for sharing, if you dont' mind, post a picture of your interface, and pricing, maybe you have an advantage in some areas.
Oh yeah, just looked above. See what I mean.? What's the POINT?... I know... fill a screen.
