He guys, I picked up an BMW North America Version 2008 dvd off ebay, however when I put the dvd in my system, nothing happens. Do I need to put the system in some sort of mode for this to update?
Screen gave me an alert to turn off system for 5 minutes while reading new DVD.
(I wasn't sure if I had to turn off engine or reset NAV)
I turn off engine and got out of the car (with key)....restart my car in few minutes (I cleaned up trunk area meanwhile)...
and it was reading new DVD automatically.
Hope it helps

If you don't have an owner's manual [very helpful for car features / operation] they are posted on the info section of this forum. http://www.e60.net/information/

There is NO installation of software. You place the disk in the DVD drive and that is all the installation you have to do. If the disk is good or works, it will ask you to turn your car off for 5 min and then it will work. If it does not work, I tend to believe that you did not purchase the correct disk or is not an authentic (maybe a burned disk with a laserjet cd sticker to make it look OEM) Sorry to hear and good luck getting it working.
