Map Disc - MkIV DVD Drive

[LC23]

The map disc in my E46 is a few years old now and I would like to get the latest one. I have V32 running so that is up to date and I would like a map disc with the extras (full 7 digit postcode etc.).

I've tried three places now and they have all had various issues from not having 7 digit postcode search (despite advertising as such) to the postcode search sending you to the wrong street. Where is the best place for the latest map disc where the extra functions actually work?

Latest 2017 maps disc available from BMW for £79 according to an email they sent me a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the reply and that isn't a bad price from BMW. As far as I am aware however they still don't include 7 digit postcode search on their updated map discs.

Which I have done. Ending up with map discs with no 7 digit postcode function despite being advertised as such or map discs with searches which don't take you to the correct street. I was hoping for some feedback from people with personal experience who could point me in the direction of updates that actually function as they should.

Strange. Always had good service from Rusty. The 7 digit post code search is a bit convoluted so I didn't use it a lot but it did work when I did.

My FFRR has 1 of his discs in at the moment and works perfectly. No the same as your Mk4 though.

I bought a cheap disc from eBay that had the latest maps, cameras and post code - but note the post code is searchable as a POI.

BMW are doing a deal on discs at the moment - £79 I believe for the OEM upgrade looks decent value?

I think they have worked out when it comes to upgrading older systems they are competing with Tom Tom etc.

I paid about 20£ to a guy on M3 Cutters, for a firmware update and Nav disc for my old M3.
It has a full postcode option.
It's not my daily driver, so don't really use it, to give a thorough test, but it certainly works.

PM if you;'d like his details. I'll dig them out.
