When I play tunes either from my IPhone connected or blue tooth, the album art is displayed. When I play tunes from the car's hard drive (loaded through the USB port in the glove box) no album art is displayed. Did I load them incorrectly or is this a flaw in the iDrive system?

I believe Album art is not supported from HD.

Really? I can't believe BMW would be that far behind the 8-ball with this technology not to support album art in a system like this. Frankly, I still can't believe they don't support email or text messaging with the iphone. Newer American cars are coming out with Internet searches and more... they'd better get with it.

I know. I am really disappointed that Office does not work on my iPhone 4. Just blackberries I understand. Geez I just dumped my BB for iPhone and now my new $52k car won't even read a text message.

I feel your pain! Where can we go to voice our concerns? Is there a "suggestion box" somewhere that BMW reads?

You can order Internet for the F30. I'm not sure how much I'll use it but it was only £95 extra to add it...(in the UK). Seemed like a no brainer.

That's about $150 or €120.
