It seems to be an option on the E70s - 2007 and up, but I find the webpages with this info inconsistent. The iPod (Apple website) seems to claim it was avaialble since 2002 as an iPod Adopter:

The BMW iPod Adapter is available for the MSRP of $149 (US) plus installation cost, and will be officially available for customers to purchase at BMW centers as of July 12, 2004 for 2002, 2003 and 2004 BMW models: X3, X5, Z4 and 3 Series. The MINI Cooper iPod Adapters will be available later this summer. Consumers should check with their BMW or MINI centers for specific application restrictions or log onto www.ipodyourbmw.com. Installation is performed by authorized BMW and MINI centers only. iPod and iPod mini are available in the U.S. through the Apple Store®

This BMW Canada website gives very litle detail about the unit

ok thanks alot

the problem with the iPod adapter for our cars is there are a lot of combinations you cannot have on the radio, such as navigation and DSP, so it falls short because the people who have everything generally want more and just can't get it b/c it's incompatible
