Apparently they work for MY 2006 cars with Business Radio. Don't know the difference (radio) for MY 2005 and MY 2006
So still according to the souces on this site a Pre-March 2005 build car w/out NAV will not work in the US.
I assume we're talking about tracks on the whole DVD not in a folder, correct?
This is bad? Why not 255?

You can burn as much as you want (ie. 850 tracks @128 bitrate = 4.37 G
but the BMW system can view and play only the 239 first tracks cumulative of the alphabitical first folders of the disk.
explain
1st folder = BLUES = 65 trakcs
2nd folder = DISCO = 45 tracks (total = 110)
3rd folder = HOUSE = 85 tracks (total = 195)
4th folder = LATIN = 35 tracks (total = 230)
5th folder = ROCK = 65 tracks (in this foder you can view on BMW I-Drive MP3 menu, only the first 9 tracks alphabetical) total = 239
All the other folders and the tracks that these folders contains are disappeared, even you have on the disk 15 folders with a total of 850 tracks.

Good news from BMW.
Dealer said that BMW have informed him that
All the E60s will be able to play Mp3 by software update within December.

The only problem is the 239 tracks limit.

One way to pack your music on one DVD is to put each whole album as one track... there are a few rippers/programs that consolidate tracks/files into one..
