No. BMW doesn't even yet have an iPod interface for audio in the E60. Even BMW's other iPod interfaces for other vehicles that handle audio don't display any useful track or control information on the vehicle's system.

There's definitely not anything for video.

Apple has an AV cable that will let you get video (and audio) out of the iPod, but you'd need to install something like Hobi's AV iDrive interface to use it:

If an IPod interface is wanted, take the Dension. It offers much more functionality than the original BMW does. Unforthunately still not available for E60/61. :'(
