My Ride: E60 525dA silver gray - NAV Pro - PDC - Bluetooth - black leather -
Strange thing happened to me yesterday. I went for a complete tire change (summer to winter tires) on my 1 week old E60 525dA. I re-initialized the RPA after the job (as explained in the manual). A few hours later I noticed that the arrow on the NAV PRO map was moving backwards in stead of forward and therefore showing a complete wrong vehicle location. Forward left turns were indicated by the arrow moving backwards and right and vice versa.
My guess it had to do with the changing of the tires. I stopped the car and re-initialized the RPA. From then onwards the problem was solved. This morning everything still ok.
Does anyone know whether the RPA initialization is linked with the NAV sensors or is my NAV on the edge of breakdown?

I seem to remember reading somewhere (in the manual or maybe the Nav DVD booklet) that the Nav uses the ABS wheel sensors to help with Navigation. These sensors are also used for the RPA. So somehow they are linked.

Maybe they put the right-side tires on the left and the left-side tires on the right? That would confuse the sensors wouldn't it?...
Just kidding...
