Craig, are you still doing these mods? Have an '04 X5 E53 that I want to mod for an iphone 4/4S.
If not, is anyone out there doing mods for these?

However if you do not already have a console eject box you may want to consider picking one up of this style from Bimmernav. No modifications required to the console eject box or iPhone adapter.

My X5 already has one. I haven't looked at it in detail, but I think it is one for a Sony Ericsson. Are the iphone ones the same for all phone models? Just wondering if I change phones down the road to something like a Iphone 5 or whatever.

sorry for the double reply, but I re-read your response and looked closer at the link. I'm a bit of a noob at this, so forgive me for being ignorant. So I could just get the one from bimmernav, and swap out the one that's in there right now?

You will require the console eject box as well as the snap in adapter for the iPhone. So far each version of the iPhone has required it's own snap in adapter. So odds are good when the iPhone5 comes along that another snap in adapter will be released. At that point all you will need to do is purchase the new snap in adapter, take the iPhone4 adapter out, and snap in the new adapter.
