My Ride: '04 530i sport, Titanium Silver
Hello,
I haven't had Nav on any of my last three 5'ers (one E39 and two E60's). My question is this - do you get regular updates to the map DVD from BMW or is that something you have to pay for?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan
P.S. I'm in the U.S. if that makes a difference.

Alternatively, if you know someone who has a newer version (make sure it's the correct type - Prof or Business) ask him to make you a copy. This works very well. I copied my original DVD and use only the copy.

You'll get the original DVD with your car and after that you're on your own. Updated versions can be ordered from Navtec. Not sure about the price, but the DVD for Euro delivery was $165 + S&H + tax. US DVD's are probably in the same range. I believe they come out twice a year. However, I don't think you need each and every update. I probably won't order an update until I get lost with my old one.

As to a more sinister issue, making a copy of a DVD you own, and giving/selling it to another person is a violation of Federal copyright law. Will you get caught? Probably not. Is it wrong? Yes. You decide how ethically challenged you might be...
