Are MP3's copied to a DVD disk formatted in your PC to 4GB capacity considered data?

Yeah, I would say so. It's just that so many other cars have "6 DVD changers" that seem to play mp3 cds fine but not mp3s burned onto DVDs. So I'm just assuming that the x5 will be the same and only player DVD-Audio. But, who knows DVD mp3s will be a very welcome surprise.

Cool

I may regret this, but I'll be waiting for the Nov production model that has the auo tailgate. Hopefully there's an emergency lever (like the red cord on a garage door opener) once this new piece of technology breaks and becomes a major complaint topic on these boards

Especially with new models, I'm usually am on the 'less technology, less breakage' boat but I can see this being so handy when you've got a handful of groceries / sports equipment... hit a button, throw the stuff in, hit the button. Right now, I have to mess with pulling out my keys, swing open the tire carrier, open the top glass, open the bottom half door, then repeat to close.

Even a remote car-starter is less practical than this... I'd definitely go for this tailgate thing.

After they introduced USB/iPod integration on the E60 they removed the CD Changer from the Premium sound (L7) package....which reduced the cost of the package from $1800 to $1200. I was hoping that they would do the same for the E70 as I will be getting the USB/iPod connection anyway and would much rather just pay $1200 for the premium audio than $600 more for a changer that I would not use. Unfortunately instead of getting rid of the CD Changer in the Premium Sound Package they have replaced it with a DVD-Changer. I don't see the point of a DVD changer to play MP3 DVD's. Why would I spend the time to create 6 MP3 DVD's if I can just plug in an iPod or hard drive? So I hope that the DVD changer CAN play DVD video and display it either on the iDrive screen (while the car is stopped), or the rear enterrainment screen.....or both. Otherwise it just does not make sense to use it to play MP3 DVD's (or even DVD audio) if you can just connect an iPod.

If there is no video DVD playback then just give me Premium Sound without a CD Changer for $600 less.....like the 2008 E60's.
