Would plugging an iPod (other mp3 players are available in all good electrical stores) into this rear socket be selectable from the iDrive for output from the car's main speakers?
I haven't picked my car up yet - that's why I can't try it!

My dealer advised me that an iPOD can be connected to the aux input. I believe this has been confirmed by other forum members elsewhere.
However, it will not be possible to select songs using the iDrive. The information flow goes in one direction only: from the connected device to the sound system.

I didn't mean I'd be able to select the tracks from the iDrive, just that I could select the "Aux" option from it, and then I could use the iPod? So it will then, basically?
Cheers guys!

Indeed, I don't see why not.
