Actually not...
AFAIK, you need BMW Apps ($250) for the cradle to work and that forces you to get BMW Assist ($650). And then you need to purchase the cradle separately for ~$200.
Sure would be nice to know if there is a way to stream audio files from the iPod using the USB cable without BMW Assist, which should also give you basic control via iDrive. The base system can do this from a USB drive.
