My Ride: 2010(60) BMW 520d SE, Manual, In Sophisto Grey with Cream/Black Interior and Piano Black trim
Just received my video interface for the e60. Dropped on it for a good price on eBay, ended up getting it for £110 after abit of negotiation:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-iDrive-Video-Multimedia-Interface-3-5-E60-E90-X5-UK-/260779499600?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cb7ab6050
It looks pretty good quality, hopefully it ends up being good. Gonna endeavour to fit it next weekend, weather permitting!
I intend to splice the audio into the auxilary input and for the time being play videos from my iPod, until I drop-on a decent slimline DVD player.
Does anyone have any recommendations for another video source, DVD player or DVB box?

+1 it looks similar to the Modmynav and Alekshop. Would be interested to get on this as well, but I need more info on where to get a dvd player from or maybe swap my cd drive of a dvd drive?!?

don't bother with the dvd players unless you have a lot of DVDs. Best to go with a HDD player that gives you full DVD menus. Dont buy the cheap ones from ebay because they dont treat dvd files as a dvd but instead as a bunch of video files.
This is what I use http://www.argosyusa.com/hv256t.asp?DefaultTab=0 when playing you would never guess its running from a hdd instead of the actual disks.
