Again, it seems we've all heard promises from BMW, so I am not sure - but using the apple USB connector and having cover art sure would be a nice improvement...
The Cover Art variable has been present in the CIC firmware since 09/09 (MY2009) introduction; it seems that it is 03/10 (MY2010) that BMW is actually implementing it:

CDMM_USB_COVER_ART

And another upcoming feature is also dormant in the CIC and TCU:

CDMM_BLUETOOTH_AUDIO
