I have an iPhone 4 and via the normal white USB to Apple connector in the armrest it charges and replays music perfectly fine (all cover art is displayed, I can search tracks, playlists, etc via the BMW iDrive controls). It simultaneously connects via Bluetooth and full phone functionality is present.

Apart from a 'neatness/clutter' point of view, have not found a reason to invest in a cradle (it's all out of sight in the glovebox anyway).
