Similar issue here, however mine had an AUX jack but the quality is meh and I also hate having to burn CDs on which some of the songs don't work.

What I did was install an Android head unit from China instead of the LCD display (retaining the iDrive functionality, can switch between them as will).

Problem now is the audio quality, because the audio comes from the Android unit to the iDrive via the AUX jack, and the quality on that is terrible.

To solve this I'm currently looking into getting an amplifier fiber optic interface (Avin has one, China might as well) added to the MOST loop. This should allow me to inject the sound from the Android unit directly into the amplifier instead of going through the AUX port. Price should be a bit over 100$.

If you want details or a swift review feel free to ask!
