BMW says that 128kps WMA is the equivalent in sound quality to 160kps MP3, however music in the iPod can be recorded lossless in the best case, 320kps VBR in the worst case, giving a much better sound quality -and burning options- that what the HDD could possibly can provide.

Just listen to a 128kps song and then to the same song at 320kps and you will know immediately what I'm talking about.
Agreed - music should be at least 192kbps or higher.
