ok i've just had a look, its the world cup edition 2006.
I spoken to my dealer, and they've got no idea - run down so far.
1) car was booked in a week ago for the progman update, to fixed my navigation (no postcodes)
2) got the car back checked to see if it works and it didnt.
3) rung them up to find out whats going on
4) they said my dvd type doesnt have the postcode option; i told them that not good enough, since it was working
5) 2 hours later, they rung back and said; well theres no postcode option (again) then i told them about what i had found on the forums, and they then said "oh i dont know, lets book the car in and do another software update, but you need to BUY a new dvd to get full postcodes" He also said something about how my dvd might not work with the software update (v25), which is just stupid.
So i've booked it in, but i dont really know what to do now.

Prof Navigation only permits 5 Character Post Code entry - there is insufficient capacity on the DVD, BMWUK inform me, to use 7 Character address data. I know it?s a pretty lame reason; I?ve been through it all with them last year - perhaps in time they will move away from DVD and use alternative mass storage in the future.

Also the World Cup Edition is only 2006-2.

Aren't all postcodes in EU (except UK) 5 chars/digits and THAT's the design limitation.
