just took the car yesterday! gorgeous!! :D

and, by the way, my car couldnt read the mp3 files though. i've tried it yesterday.
but i wanna try it again today with mp3 files without folder management. Yesterday the cd I tried contains mp3 files which are organized into the folder.maybe the player cant read into the folder..who knows.hhehe..but, i feel pesimistic about this, since the manual doesnt say anything about mp3.

so.i dont know if the guy on the other topic said if his car could play mp3..hmm. I'd like to see it. :P

The CD player should play MP3's however, it does not. Your dealer should have received this message from Munich. Moreover, in the owner?s manual in the entertainment section it explains how the MP3 function should work.

The problem for state side BMW owners is, all information must first go through BMWUSA and than to the dealers. Therefore, the chain is Munich, BMWUSA, The dealer and finally you.

PICKED UP YESTERDAY AND DID NOT WORK WITH MP3S

The person or persons who reported that MP3's worked warned not to use folder management. Please take the time to try again with just the MP3's and no folders and let us no. Thanks!

DOES NOT WORK I BURNED THE MP3S THROUGH NERO 6

There are four players. Please try them all without the folder structure when burning MP3 CD.

In dash CD
Glove compartment DVD library (Logic 7)
In dash CD/DVD Navigation

Or optional trunck DVD library

tried them all no good

yup! thats right. nothing work. i've burn my mp3 files not organized into folder. still cant do it though. i'll check at the dealer next month though.

Mine doesn't work either.

Does it say anywhare that the 5 is supposed to play MP3s.

just back from my Euro delivery - MP3 was a no go as well.

someone form other post last week claimed that his car could play mp3 files. so..we all eager to know the truth. :o

I think the people who claim it works are unknowingly converting the files during the burn process.

In other words, the burning software is doing a conversion to a format that the car can play but the user is unaware of that process so they think they are playing MP3's since that's what they think they burned.
