My Ride: 2005 Sapphire Black 545i, Auburn interior, PDC, Fold-down rear seats, Nav, Premium sound
I heard from my dealer that there is no need to upgrade the nav disc with all of the maps, as it will "download updates from somewhere automatically". Is this true? I thought that we were stuck with having to buy new nav discs every year or so...

The drives are DVD-writers and the new information is passed from the GPS satellites.? However, there's a bug in the current version of iDrive software that will be fixed in v84.2? Expected March 2061.?
