I suppose I shouldn't complain then. Getting that in our RR, I suppose, offset the lack of decent mileage in the X5. :D

More than anything, this is a sign of a collapsing economy. The fact that BMW hasn't ever offered this before is that cars have been selling despite the cyclicality of the economy. However, this is...

Inside the center console, as most of us know, is the place where you can plug in your ipod (actually, into both the USB and the other jack - not sure what that other jack is, assuming audio). ...

So if you simply plug in a USB stick with, say 200, songs on it, does it create any sort of list or is it like one giant CD with no order to it?

Just curious.

I agree - buy yourself a cheap ipod and just leave that in your car. It's so well integrated through the entertainment system that it's perfect. You won't be disappointed.

Equipment Used ...

So here, the deal - very simple.

It's a part called a BMW-VIN - which stands for BMW-Video In Motion - and it's made by Nav-Tv.

You can google them for information on installation places...
