I do remember the hassle it was just to obtain a cradle for the iP5. I don't know how BMW has handled new cradles for the latest phones in the past. But with the smart phone market share Apple has with it's iPhone, one would think BMW is already working on it? Apple releases dimension specs to certain companies way before the release date.
Hopefully they do. We can still hook the phone up via USB, but you loose out on the shark fin advantage and convenience.

@avlnch I just noticed that the iPhone 6 in case fits perfectly in the snap in connector cover which comes with the car. In principe you could modify the cover to drill a lightning cable through it and somehow fasten it in place to create a DIY dock. Given the size of the phone it won't move about since it perfectly wedges into that gap.
This guy did it with iPhone 5 but with 6 it should work better because of size.

Would you have a sense on how to do this? The challenge is getting the connector firmly placed so it won't move.
