I may suggest two small USB Hard Disk (1,8") fully compatible as power draining with BMW USB to be used for MP3 listening.
One is a LaCie 60 GB, the other is a 120GB Trekstor with area dimension similar to a credit card.

Have you been able to test these drives extensively? As you already stated, the power requirements of the drive are critical to it working in the car...

I tested the 60GB one for about 4 months and the 120GB model for a week, always connected and used every day.

If consumption is under 1 watt, then they should work well.
Here's a link to an older thread where we discussed what drives should work and what ones might not. There's also a table posted that lists many drives and their power requirements.
