one of my concerns..........
will the non-english (i.e. chinese) song name, infos be shown correctly on the iDrive screen?
if not, i'm not getting it since 90% of my songs are chinese songs =.=

My guess is that it should display Chinese, as the idrive system support Chinese.
I just wanted an aux in if they only know how to install it in HK. I mean the 1 series have it but not on our 5's WTF

I would doubt the iDrive can support chinese coding for the iPod. Even normal MP3's in our new S500 can't display MP3 chinese eventhough chinese display is available on the COMMAND system.
I've ordered the iPod option for my M5 when it comes in september. what my dealer stated is that all i need to do is install the ipod connector to the BMW when the ipod connection becomes available (if it's available when my car comes)

Where are you from? Seems like you are chinese are you in HK. If so I would like to have more info about the ipod connectors for the E60. Thanks and welcome aboard!
Over a broken phone conversation (reception was bad) with my dealer last week, he stated that if the iPod connection is not readily available for the 5series when i receive my car in September, all i need to do in the future (when ready) is to connect the line/cable.
Im assuming that means the car/iDrive will come with iPod intergration or there is a mean to unlock the function. I guess the best bet is to see the 3series iPod intergration, coz frankly I'm confused as well.
