With no iDrive in my car (ie. I have the standard orange and black display for the headunit), will I control the Ipod from the headunit or from the Ipod itself if I'm using the BMW cable? Will the song names be on the headunit display or I'll have to scroll the clickwheel on the Ipod to select albums/songs?
That depends on whether you have the optional USB port under the arm rest or not. You may need the Professional Head Unit too (this gives you two display lines instead of the single line on the Business unit). if you have these then yes you can access ipod menus on the headunit when connecting with the optional BMW Ipod Cable.

If you don't have the above then you will have to connect via the Aux input and control your ipod manually.
