So does this "ipod only option " allow complete function of the ipod via idrive
(scrolling through artists , albums, songs etc.) or does it just allow selected playlists? If this is the case I'd just as soon keep my ipod in the center console, use the AUX input and pick the songs I want without stopping the car to get the ipod out of the glove box !I'm disappointed the 6FL will not be available. My X5 is "at the preparation center" so I should receive it this week! Too late to reorder-plus I've already waited 6 weeks!
