This is for later cars than the E53 (doesn't fit the E46 either!) as you need the iDrive system.  You need a USB host/hub.  These were only fitted to cars with the MOST bus systems as far as I remember.

Run the part number against Realoem and it will confirm what you can fit it to.

Too many ads on Fleabay indicate the wrong models as being suitable.
