Ha ha nice try! No, it won't play movies. The DVD navi system software has been programmed to block .ifo and .vob DVD movie files. You can't get them to play. Maybe someday someone will come up with some kind of add on you can splice into the system somehow to over ride it, but there's nothing now. I don't know about other car models, but before BMW I was looking into Lexus and the IS couldn't play DVD movies on the Navi, either.
Did you see that big screen you can have installed for the back seat passengers? You can install that and that will play DVD movies, but I saw it was only available in Deutschland and for like $3000.00 American bucks.
I had an old clarion DVD player in the car before my 3-er and all I had to do was find the "shut off" wire and ground it and bingo! The screen stayed on even after I shifted into drive.
I'm sure they'll come up with something eventually, if you want to get into modding the $2000 navi system...
