We could go quite a bit off topic about the difference between selling and sharing pirate software - in both cases the copyright owner loses out ; the only difference is that in one case the recipient pays and in the other he doesn't. I don't see any moral high ground either way.
I hasten to add that this info was given to me on a forum and I'm merely passing it on.

Agreed - just IMO I think it's a bit cheap to sell pirate stuff thats available easily online. I'm not knocking you for sharing as I'm not whiter than white but I think people that sell it are pretty low. Give it away or don't.I hasten to add that this info was given to me on a forum and I'm merely passing it on.
To the original poster - x5forums is a good starting point for most of this stuff. I'd send a copy FOC but my DVD burner cannot make disks well enough for my car to read
Is it wrong/unethical of me to download/buy one of these 'modded' versions after BUYING the GENUINE item from BMW.
It's not like I can get a 'fully optioned' one from BMW anyway.
It's probably available on bittorrent anyway, and would cost less than £1 to burn your own.
Also the DVD has a version of the speed cameras on it that are only up-to-date as of the date it was burned (assuming the latest speed cameras were installed). You'll then need to redownload/reburn every week to keep them bang up-to-date.
The latest ones that are going to be HD based sound like they'll be much easier to keep up-to-date and to modify.

That was my logic. I have a legit 2008 disk but it didn't allow full post code searching. BMW did not want to pay the post office for that proprietary information.It's not like I can get a 'fully optioned' one from BMW anyway.

Therefore I did not wish to pay BMW for a sub standard product as I NEED postcode searching. This was easily available on the net.

Mailed you all details. Well worth it and works a treat. Speed cameras, full postcode search and loads of POIs.
Hi got my Z4MC last week 
Have successfully upgraded the firmware to V32 and got the birds eye view, but having problems with the Maps & POI's.Can somebody mail me the details above pleeze?
Someones had a bad day........... I have similar pirate disks, I don't want an audible speed camera warning and the updates twice a year seems more than enough for me. How often do they build new roads near you???
As for sticking a TT on the window and having to plug it in each time I want to use it, then having to hide it and wipe the window to remove evidence from scum, I really couldn't be arsed. So IMO the system works really well, ie no hastle.
