Depends on the radio. Read this guide: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?1611782-Guide-to-Buying-E46-BMW-Business-CD53-Alpine-Radios-that-play-MP3-Data-CDs!

take the stereo out and look for a manufacture date, it needs to be at least 2003 (apparently) It didn't work on my 2002 325ci

This is for the BMW 335i, twin turbo inline 6 cyl...I would refer to the mfg application charts to check compatibility and not on anyone who does not have a BMW 328i on this forum.

No, it will charge but not play through the audio system. It did not work in my 335. There are other cords on Amazon that will play in BMW's. Check the reviews. Unfortunately, all are shorter in length which are difficult to use if you want your phone visible on the dash since the connection is in the center console.

No. I bought this product, and the screw was stripped and would not fit my BMW.

Hi Amy, yes it will. Your 330Ci is an E46 coupe and should have no problem.

I'm sure it will work, but my experience with this specific cable was not good. The insulation started unwrapping shortly after I purchased it.

The cigarette lighters are 'internationally sized'. The other end of this cable is a quick connect or SAE plug. They are used to connect battery chargers directly to the motorcycle. But looking it up on Amazon, BMW seems to have some sort of "accessory plug", which is not typically found at other motorcycle brands. There is an adapter available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Charger-Plug-for-BMW/dp/B004QC9SYM. I suggest to read the reviews since they give further instructions/tips... Anyway, looking at the image, the contacts of this BMW plug will not work with a cigarette lighter intake/female plug. Assuming that the PLUS pole of this BMW plug is also in the tip, the MINUS pole of the plug would not touch the walls of a cigarette lighter plug. The MINUS poles of a lighter are these springs/clamps on the sides that hold it in place (note that the inner sleeve of a cig plug is metal for his reason). In any case, looking at this BMW adapter, your BMW should already have a (female) plug, and this cable also has a (female) plug?! So, if you bought this cable, you would need an additional cable with male connectors ("cigarette lighter to BMW (male) adapter" or similar)? In this case, you would probably save money if you only bought an "BMW to SAE cable"?

I purchased this cable for my '97 Pontiac Sunfire. I'm uncertain about your type of Vehicle, but it was the correct one for my vehicle.

I really don't know. I do not have any BMW. I use it for other cars such as Acura, Mazda and Lexus and it works fine with them.

I have used this cable only in my 2011 E350 and it worked fine when I connected a USB flash drive with my music and I understand that it should work with a portable hard drive. It does not work when I tried connecting my phone or MP3 player, but I did not buy it thinking it would, I just wanted to use a flash drive.

Not certain, but since most if not all late model BMWs have a can-bus socket, I would bet it will work just fine. Plugged it into my 1200 and it worked right away, no programming, no frustration, just works perfectly. highly recommend, but if concerned, the optimate site will provide more info on the compatibility.

I don't know. The E36 and 325Ci are not the same car with a different engine and mechanicals. Almost none of the body parts are the same and the dimensions are a bit different. I would check with a BMW dealer or parts supplier to see whether there is a different part number for the cover for your car.

Hey there! If iFix implies that the cable is different you might be cautious and buy the one for your model. I bought that cable for a 2009 model.

Yes, It would work in your car Using the "Y" cable. It will display Playlist on the BMW screen if only apple product is used. A perfect solution for iPhone 5 users.

It will depend upon the software you are using to talk to the BMW, this cable is just the USB to OBDII connection. I used it on an Audi A4 with some free OBDII basic software that could only read info, you normally have to pay $$ for the software that can actually enable functions within the car.

not sure haven't actually looked for those modelsi used it on an f250 2003 some where there is a link that you can find that out on.gonna guess and say all of those in that range of year models probably used the same cable
