If this connection conforms to IEEE standards [and I do not see why it would not], so long as the connector is CF, the subsequent technology is not a determining factor. IE: DVI-D to HDMI.

If this theory holds true then the following should be possible also: iPOD link to CF - if such a connector is available.

Again, USB 2.0 would have been the way to go; with a 480 Mbps transfer rate

The reason why I think you can is because if you can play off the CF, that would mean the OS has the capability to mount the CF slot - and I'm not sure that's been previously available in a HDD automotive head unit; again I'm not 100% sure because it certainly possible to do so. Nevertheless, most HDD based systems that I've seen in cars, use the external slot for uploads to the on-board HDD.

Would it be nice to have both - you bet.

I believe the square on the left is the rear-view camera, while the little oval on the right is the trunk release.

Yes, I would say that is DG.

Not anymore, it used to be you could pick and choose most options, then it became "packages", still was more flexible than today though.

Just gorgeous... I would personally get the red one. Without the wing of course. I think sedans look a little funny with wings.

I thought that the current generations’ Sport suspension was to firm in relation to the body rigidity - or lack thereof. This is supposed to be addressed and if it has, you can certainly have a firm setup and have a good ride w/good suspension design: AKA the '07 335i Sport.

Maybe too firm for a bad back but definitely not too firm. I found the standard suspension kind of soft and feels ponderous and disconnected. If anything, I would prefer a bit firmer suspension to limit body roll.
