Will my 2005 M3 play MP3s?

UTKengr · Sat, Jun-18-2005, 11:14:46 PM

I have heard yes and no to this question. I asked the dealer, but they weren't sure(big shock). Anybody have any luck with this?

if you have nav, no, if you have regular cd, yes

Are you talking about the Business CD? I just popped in a MP3 CD and it did not play... which "regular CD" are you talking about?

My friend has on 02 e46 m3 it plays mp3...he had them replace the head unit "free" with a new one .... the units are alpine so you just need the 2005+ unit it is a plug and play/...... good luck

my '01 could play them. However, if you have a Nav unit, don' you still get a cd player? I fail to see why that one would not play but the regular cd player would...

I tried yesterday when I saw my car and nothing. Nav does not play mp3.

I have an '05 model...just popped in an MP3 CD and it played with no problem. I only have the Business CD system. Thanks for the post. I had no idea my M3 would play MP3s until I read this.
