Hello Chim,
First, congrats for the new car and welcome to this great forum...
Concerning the navigation DVD copy, just make sure it has been cloned, not "just" copied, otherwise, it won't work.
BMW original CD/DVD are copyright protected. I made a copy of mine (08) just to have a back-up in case of... and after several unsuccessful attempts ("please insert a valid DVD") I did the duplication using CLONE DVD software and it finally worked fine.
I confirm as well that E46 navpro DVD's (although original) can't be read in a E60 navpro equiped (again: "please insert a valid DVD").

I hope it helps.

Regards.

If the iDrive unit (also known as the CCC) is loose and falling off sometimes, that could explain a lot of problems.
