It would be great to be able to manage Spotify through BMW iDrive, either by a dedicated Spotify app on BMW system or at least by a connection of iDrive controls with Spotify app on the iPhone.

Spotify BMW iDrive integration for playlist control would be a worthwhile and a much needed update. Im sure this would bring alot more customer interest for Spotify. Come on Spotify, please look into this........
Same for me. After a month of a premium subscription, I'll stop using the service because it's not worth the money for me if Spotify is not fully integrated into iDrive.
Please Spotify, provide full BMW in-car integration on next update.
V1.
Also worth noting: prior to the iPhone 5, Spotify was at least mostly usable through the plugin interface, but now it's not anymore since video out was removed. So, sadly, they're about to lose a customer to MOG despite the fact that I like Spotify much, much more.
I'm a new premium user but disappointed that I'm not able to use Spotify with iDrive... hopefully this will change soon or I'll have to look for other options as most of my music listening is while driving.
I just canceled MOG to try Spotify in my BMW 535i. And I noticed it is not integrated with iDrive. WHAT??? Come on Spotify! After my month's paid with Spotify, I'll cancel and go back to MOG. Disappointed.

If you're on Android - please add your kudos to this idea here:

Thanks everyone!
