I have a 525d loaner while my software is being upgraded. Thought I would give a few MP3 disc's a try. Let me just say - FANTASTIC! We need to be making a very large stink about this feature. I am tired of waiting :'(

Here are some screen shots

EDIT:
Here is a shot of the directory structure on the CD (data CD)

I never get a 5er for a loaner. I usually get an older 3 series. But it makes me miss my car more.
mp3 is very nice. They have screwed around with us to much over it.
