Tom,

I have the origional Dice in my E46 M3, so I know what limitations it has and I've been trying to read as much as I can about the Silverline Pro. I also have an '08 E90 M3 with I-Drive and 99% love the Ipod interface. The questions I have are:

1. (which I believe the answer is no) With the Silverline Pro, with a MKIV Nav unit, can you do searches using & selecting Artist on the Nav screen like the new I-Drive Ipod interfaces?

2. I saw the whole CD 1-6 and all that, but while one song is playing, can you search for a certain song (via artist but without going through the album) & NOT play it until you select it?

3. If you ONLY want to use the Nav interface & not the Ipod itself, Is the ONLY way to pic a song (not having to figure out what album a certain artist has a song on) manipulate your iTunes and delete the album titles? or is it by playlists?
