should have said I went to my regular dealer not the nearest and after some sensible dialog with parts and the service manager they realised what I was after - all done and tested in 45 mins / while having coffee and cake.

As Matt said - Go to the Satnav forum on www.x5world.com. The most informative BMW SatNav forum in the world.... Salesmen at BMW Main Dealers have not a clue about the factory systems. I'll guarantee that if you bought a brand new BMW today it will come with a 2007-1 or 2007-2 European map DVD - NOT the current 2008-2!!
2 years ago I used to sell these DVD's for 1/10th of the £250 BMW price - with a current speed camera database added.
If you want the latest 2008-2 Europe "High" map (Not compatible with I-Drive equipped BMW's) then Google & download/install "Bitlord" (a torrent programme), then search for & download BMW 2008-2. Use Ultra ISO to burn the map to a DVD AT THE SLOWEST SPEED you are able. All instructions are on www.x5world.com.

tried similar - twice - and both times nav didn't recognise the new os disk...(others have seen same - randomness of download/and getting lowest write speed) so rather than have to arse about like a dweeb and go out and get new blanks I though feck that....2 years ago I used to sell these DVD's for 1/10th of the £250 BMW price - with a current speed camera database added.
