Im getting panic now. What shall i do ?

It might help if you posted some specifics on your car. The best way to do that is to put everything in your signature (look under "My Controls" to see where to edit it.)
Year, model, options, etc. should be a good start. Take a look at some other signatures that people have to get a better idea of what to do -- you don't have to do anything elaborate, just the basic facts will help you tremendously when asking for help...

I've never heard of "iDrive-4" but my only guess is that it refers to the newest version of iDrive found on the 2010 models. These newer models have entirely new screens and an internal hard drive for things like music and navigation maps.
If I'm correct, and I'll repeat that I'm not 100% sure I am, then you certainly don't have iDrive-4 based on your build date. Navi Professional cars are also referred to as "CCC" based iDrive cars. Can you find any reference to "CCC" in the Dension documentation?

Here is from the manual
BMW non iDrive-4If original CD changer fitted and MP3 capability is available: no programming
is required.
If original CD changer fitted and no MP3 capability is available:
a) Retrofit ?KMP3? option with service computer
b) Used in non text capable BMW mode
If original CD changer not fitted or E60 M-ASK used: install GW500 and retrofit
?IPOD? option with service computerBMW with iDrive-4If original CD changer fitted: no programming is required
If original CD changer not fitted: install an original BMW CD changer and
retrofit ?CD Changer? temporarily option with service computer
It seems that i need to use the underlined option
"If original CD changer not fitted or E60 M-ASK used: install GW500 and retrofit
?IPOD? option with service computer"
