I have a 528xi with nav.
With a new disc (as well as the older one) it still is off by about 300ft. It tells you to turn after you passed the exit.
Navtek says that there is a computer issue in the car and the dealer has no clue. I am looking for some other experiences before I go to the dealer. I think that there is some calibration procedure???? Thanks

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

I believe most GPS are mandate by the government to be off by several hundred feet. This may be normal.

Had the same problem as many others did. The dealer can correct it through the software. Good luck.
