Only options are the OTC BMW iPod kit or mObridge, we offer both if needed.
Or, you can check the thread that's actually in this forum regarding the retrofit that's contrary to your post.

You can scroll through your ipod by either playlist or artist, or album, or podcast, or song. I've only played with it a little so far, but I like it.

Note that if you get the retrofit they will upgrade the idrive software so you'll lose all your presets. Not a big deal, but you may want to write down your radio settings.

My only complaint so far is that I have a 4th gen nano and the kit won't charge it. But, I'm going to order the Scosche adapter that will charge it. I think the Scosche part is only $20. This brings up another point: the installation of the ipod interface is not cheap, but it works seamlessly with the navigation system (or at least has on mine so far).
I have the passPort, if you'd rather buy it from me. I don't need it, and it was used for all of 30s. PM me if you're interested.
