You should be using something like this which will also charge your iPod and output the audio stream from the dock connector to the AUX jack.

I have used my IPOD in my E92 335 with both the headphone jack and a Sendstation PocketDock.
I can not hear any quality difference between the two.
BUT when using the headphone jack, make sure that you have the volume set to the max level. And remember to turn it back down when going back to the ear buds.
