Amazon.com: neXplug iPod Adapter Charge and Audio Cable with USB and 3.5mm for Select BMW and Mini Cooper Car Models - Control From Your Wheel: MP3 Players & Accessories
I have a 2007 BMW 328xi Coupe with the 6FL AUX/USB option and an iPhone 4. This cable replaces the $370 OEM BMW iPod cable. For $22, this is an amazing deal. This cable works perfect. I connect my iPhone and the iPod option on the display enables. It shows all music by artist, album, playlists etc. Sound quality is great and volume/change song buttons from the steering wheel work perfectly. I also use bluetooth with my iPhone and the system can handle both at the same time!
The "this accessory is not optimized for iPhone" message pops up upon connecting, but just tap "dismiss" and it works flawlessly. It even charges my iPhone, which the $370 BMW cable needs another $110 adapter to charge. I highly recommend this adapter. Works GREAT!

I have a 2008 BMW X5 and it works extremely well with my iPhone 3GS. I connected it to the USB and 3.5mm inputs inside the arm rest. I can navigate through the various iPod functions on the navigation screen and also select different tracks from the playlists using the buttons on the steering wheel. As a bonus, my iPhone gets charged while connected. Great product at a very reasonable price.

I asked my dealer about this missing adapter after purchasing a CPO 328i BMW. He said that it does not come with the car even if you purchase a new car. I couldn't believe and called BMW North America and they said that I had to purchase it for a CPO. My dealer was asking $70 + tax and then I came across this one online and I am glad I saved money.
I tested this adapter with iPhone 4 & iPod nano and both works fine.
Thanks,
