    I'll be watching this thread with interest as I'm in the same boat with mine.

    In the very unlikely case that you still have a tape player in your car.

    This will work pretty well... A cassette adapter, It's a much cheaper alternative.

    I do recommend going for the monster one as I've tried other cheaper ones and they just don't seem to work.

    If you don't have a cassette player then you could get the retrofit kits, not sure if they are work it though so you could have a look at them.

    Hi,

    I just bought a 318d M Sport Business edition and managed to upload a ton of music via the usb in the glove box from my ipod.

    Just an idea. Otherwise try this. :)

    Hi,

    I just bought a 318D M Sport Business Edition and loaded a ton of music via the USB in the glove pocket to the hard drive. This was from my ipod.

    Just an idea. Or you could try this. Plenty of info on You Tube as well.
