Forgot to add 6NL
Picked up my new X3 this afternoon. It looks great and drives even better! Will post picks and my experiences with the car ASAP!
One question though. I have ordered the professional audio system (with the surround system) and also a snap in adapter for my iPhone. During the demonstration of the car I discovered that I cannot control the iPhone from the audio system other than on track forward or backward. I thought I could also access playlists etc. Now I'm kind of disappointed. I did not buy the most expensive audio system with an iPhone snap in adapter to only move one song forward and backwards. Should I have also ordered option 6NL? Is this also available for retrofit?

I think you mean you 6NF Telephone USB Audio Interface. Effectively gives you the same functionality in the cradle as you get when you connect using the white USB cable. What you have at the moment in the cradle is just Bluetooth audio interface (would be the same if the iPhone was in your pocket) Not heard of a retrofit but could involve wiring the armrest to the CIC so may not be easy

Thanks, woke up very early this morning! Looking forward to some customer visits today (or better: the drives in between them :-) )

I think you might already have 6FL, and what you really need is 6NR.

Depends how much functionality you need but you can definitely improve on "only move one song forward and backwards" without 6NR just by plugging the iPhone in using the USB cable. If that's all the functionality you need, then you only need 6NF to have this when the iPhone is in the cradle (6NF is also a prerequisite for 6NR). Also, if it's an iPhone 3GS or above and you install iOS 5 you get more information over BT.

I filed a complaint at the garage stating that if I order a car with an iPhone adapter and the top range radio I expect that I can fully control the phone/ipod from the multi media system.
A) this is something that I expect to be a standard accessory, but coming from driving a few Volvo's in a row I should have lowered my expectations B) the dealer should have pointed this accessory out to me when I was configuring the car. So I blame them. Moving into solution mode: The garage still owes me 500 euros in BMW accessories (by giving BMW accessories they actually give less because there's also "some" margin on them) so I offered them the opportunity to give me a 64gb iPod that I can connect to the USB port to get even. I think thats a good deal for them.
