Music controls on the steering wheel?

Is there any way to change tracks up and down or pause mute?

Bmw is weird. On my Mercedes and Chevy it is track up and down and there is a mute button.

Bmw I have to roll down on the rolly thing and press it to select next track 2 steps apposed to 1 in other cars.

Also I'm on bluetooth. I don't do the cd or usb thing that's old school and incovient when want to add new music I just heard right away..

There’s no mute button. You can scroll up and down using the buttons on the right. Push the center button in and the song titles will appear in the gauge cluster. Scroll away.

use the wheel scroll on the right side... thats all you get. or use idrive knob, or hit the > arrow on the radio itself.

If you double click on the scroll wheel, it moves the track forward or backward but I forgot which way. I'm not at my car so can't confirm but I know it does one or the other

The mute button is the power button, a few inches from the wheel.

I'd love to know why BMW thought it was a good idea to have track forward and back assigned to the scroll wheel and volume up/down assigned to buttons. This is 100% backwards. And stupid. Wheel should be volume. Up/Down should be track fwd/back.
