Don't see any helpful suggestions here - so if not too late .....
If her X3 does not have Nav.
I recommend the least cost and easiest approach. Buy the BMW Aux Input cable for less than $40 (not the iPod adaptor), and install it in the handy upper dash storage tray. Easy cable routing from back of the radio, and just an easy connect if a CD changer is not part of the equation.
The only downside is volume only can be controlled from the steering wheel or radio, selections have to be made on the iPod - but that is where having it up high comes in - minimal need to divert attention from the road ahead.
