I was planning to get and Ipod interface for my x5, its in the shop right now getting some updates and minor fixes, but I decided to wait until later to get USB connection installed.

However, I got a 535 loaner which had a USB interface, I tried my 6gen ipod, it played some songs okay, I had inital problems having it connected (im using the USB connector that came with the IPOD) but I cannot see playlists or a bunch of other stuff, I can just access the songs menu (if I try to get into playlists it says feature unaviable or something like that.) plus some songs have weird names like f01 f02 etc.

Anybody have an E70 with a USB connecter that works fine with 6 gen ipod?

Also I noticed that the iDrive menu in the loaner 5 series scrolls much faster than my e70. The button on top of the idrive has a rubber padding which is soft unlike the e70 which has a plasticy solid feel.

Anybody have delay issues with idrive that was fixed with updates? Also iv noticed the gear shifts in the 5 series are much faster than with the e70, wonder if all x5's are like that or should I talk to them about looking at it?

Thanks!
