I have a recently purchased 2011 535 and I connect a 160GB ipod classic via USB. The system works pretty well (a little buggy) but I'm having a problem where my ipod loses its power. I sometimes turn my car off with the ipod playing - I assumed this would power down the ipod but can not confirm. Does anyone else have this problem or know how/if the ipod powers down.

I am having this same problem, except in my 2012 135i... I leave it connected and it does charge while the car is on but sometimes I get in the car and the iPod doesn't show up - when I look at it, the charge is completely gone. Did you ever figure this out?

have you checked to see if the usb stays live, it may not charge while the car is turned off, I have never tried with mine..

When the car goes to sleep, all those functions do too! :)
