Is that correct? I thought that the new iPod interface on the R56 was going to be far better integrated than the 6 playlists of the 1st generation. The speculation has been that MINI would adopt the same new iPod interface as on other BMWs, which was described in a press release (http://www.bmwusa.com/news/news?article=268):

The new Interface will also allow users to incorporate their iPods directly into their car’s sound system, but with the newly available capability to sort their music according to their own playlists, as well as by artist, album, genre, podcast, and finally, a random selection of 500 songs from the user library. Artist, album, and song title will appear in the Display Monitor.
