My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
I sat in a brand new 535d Sport the other day and in the centre console I noticed two cd slots, one with DVD on it and the other for music CD's I think. There was a 6 disc changer in the glove box too. The car I test drove also had the three slots.
Anyone know what the third one is for?

The bottom DVD slot is for Navigation DVD's . (when travelling in and out of coverage areas, you change the DVD's)
And dont ask about DVD movies or MP3.... it cant.

thats why there is a DVD option in the i-drive

I never noticed the DVD option in iDrive--it's to the left of CD and I never navigated that way. I also noticed that if I insert a cd in the dash cd slot, it shows the track title, but not from the cd changer or dvd slot.
