My Ride: 525dA LCI 08, space grey, M-tech, Advantage, Comfort, Nav Pro 8.8, voice, black dakota, seat heating front and back, active steering, comfort access, comfort seats, glasroof, auxiliary heating, head-up, night vision, bluetooth, DVD multimedia package in backseat, satin chrom, auto headlight control, PDC, adaptive headlights, CDC, HIFI, remaped 240hp 500nm
And iPod capability would likely be able to be added to any E60. Siemens VDO already has this working and showed it at IAA. BMW has had the code necessary to make this work for over a year.
All E60s with Pro Radio or Pro Nav now have MP3 capability.
And there's no reason to believe we'd get a backup camera with the facelift...
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but I don't think waiting another 2 years would be worth it...

The MP3 player is great, just a shame the nav dvd has to be changed on the bus. nav, and doesnt work in the CDC. Does anyone know the macimium bitrate it will support - all my music is in lossless FLAC at the mo - I have been transcoding it to 192kbps MP3 for compatibility.
Improvements to be made:
1) Play in CDC - may not be possible - on old beemers the link was an ibus lead for control, and an audio feed
2) Track name to display in the status bar, instead of MP3.
3) More than 255 mp3s. This would be great (even better than an ipod maybe) if a DVD could be crammed full of music.

Now, if BMW never gives us iPod support, I agree: a DVD full of music would be great. But even that makes an assumption: that BMW will remove the 239 file limit. But I'd sooner see full iPod integration. And given the numerous competitors that now offer full integration, I'd expect, or at least hope, that BMW will do something about this.

I also have mp3 starting today. Can someone remind me how do I find out which software do I have?
Are DVD-RW or DVD+RW working? Can I fill one up and try how it works?
What are the limitation? Does it work with variable bitrate?

It work at any bitrate (size or type).
The only problem is the 239 tracks cumulative limit.
