At least one would hope one could transfer lossless files to the built-in HDD where the data rate would be much higher. But, I understand that takes a long time as well. It would be interesting to find out if BMW is using USB 1 or 2.

In the meantime, the iPod works flawlessly. Unclear why this sound system needs 6 separate input locations when it would work very well with the iPod, a single-disk CD slot, and the radio. Over-designed and under-performing.
