What you are describing is already available with the regular Apple cable.
Do you have iPod interface (PlugIn) and VideoOut?

You will need to download the "BMW Connected" App from AppStore. The interface once plugged in is really cool. Obviously it shows the album covers of all your music that is on the iPhone, etc... You can stream Web Radio (really cool - I got my old NY stations), Facebook and Twitter are also available. The cradle charges your phone also. Also, when you disconnect the app will show you the Fuel level (gallons), Range and Total distance when you first open the app (pretty cool if you forget how much fuel you have left).

My car was a March build - I actually waited until the "Apps" were available as I am pretty certain it will expand to many other cool things in the future.

Good luck!!
