I got an email today from BMW offering a Nav update... Is there any place to get this dvd other than the dealer?

tia.

BMW Navigation Map Updates put the most accurate, reliable data right at your fingertips, so you don?t have to worry about the road ahead. Each map update covers more than 7.3 million miles of road networks, 367 million addresses, and 12.6 million Points of Interest, including:

? Over 625,000 Restaurants
? Over 172,000 Department Stores
? Over 120,000 Banks
? Over 111,000 Gas Stations
? Over 82,000 Hotels
? Over 26,000 Tourist Attractions
? 435 BMW Centers

Complete updates just $199*, exclusively from BMW.

Chances are the roads you travel have changed at least 10 to 15 percent since this time last year?and more than 40% in high-growth areas. That?s not counting the businesses and attractions that have opened or closed along the way.

To stay ahead of the curve, BMW recommends that you update your navigation map data once a year to keep your navigation system running at peak performance. Don?t wait for the ?fast route? to become the ?scenic route.? Order your map update today.

Maybe we should collectively get a hold of a copy and burn a few for all of us here as E60 freebies. Is that legal?

That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I received the same email.

If one were to hypothetically search for the torrent, what would one search for to provide effective results? Hypothetically.

If you search google with 'BMW 2010 NAV DVD' you get hit 6 out of 10 hits which are torrents. However this is my feedback, I used 2009.1 and currently using 2010.1, I feel still 2009.1 is better as far as the map goes since it uses Navteq, the new one is using 'Teleatlas'. I could not find few streets in new one which was there in 2009 DVD.
