Audio Inputs....

Apparently, the sorts of audio inputs you can use in the F40 1 series with iDrive 7 (either with cockpit pro or plus) have changed from when I was last up to date with BMW audio options...

I am looking at the 135 at the moment but am struggling to find detail (online) as to what you can and cannot do as regards connecting your own music into the system... I have a large digital archive with lossless files...

So, by way of feedback from existing owners, I am keen to understand what inputs you have for music on your F40 1 series cars... ...

USB port(s) that are usable for audio..? (and how many)
Hard Drive..?
SD slots..?
Bluetooth from phone/device (not my preferred)..?
CarPlay..?
Android Car thingy..?

I believe there are options to use streaming in the car without your own phone/device, but I have no idea of costs/capabilities... Can you stream lossless Tidal into the car without your phone, for instance...

Any help, toughts, feedback most welcome... 🙂
