I've been having a similar issue.. I've got around 170Gb of music on a 500Gb drive... I've found that once you go above 120Gb it doesn't read correctly. This is annoying as the old f10 5 series was fine with the same drive and music collection. After a lot of poking and prodding at the dealer I was informed that it will only support up to 16,000 songs per usb drive... however the idrive supports up to 40,000 songs.

I'm currently arguing with my local dealer to do a full car software update, then I was going to ask the wider community for their thoughts etc. My gut feeling is this can be sorted by coding. After explaining that I'm a consultant storage / backup engineer at one of the largest IT companies in the world they finally stopped trying the bullshit answers that are used to fob off other customers. :-P

Would any of the gurus be able to comment please?
