My Ride: 06' 530i Alpine White beige interior
Ok so i took the keys to my new 530 w/o sports package (i was the one that was goin back and forth between the 525 with sport and 530 w/o) and i am very pleased with my decision. However i have a few questions now that i am driving an e60. The fist is is there an option to get the navi screen as default (the actual map) but taking up the whole screen, and the second question is anybody know of a way to make the dvd port of the navi into a regular dvd player?

Congrats. No you cannot make the map the whole screen. Some people have converted the DVD slot - do a search and you might find some info.
Would help if you included your location in your profile.
Have fun!

Everytime I see a post like this I keep thinking that BMWDoug has finally bought a BMW. Alas, no, not this time.
Congrats anyway!
