you put 20" rims ?
It probably does, I want to know if their are any E60 owners that have the navigation and have the 20" rims.
Did you have the navi. get re-programmed.
THanks in advance

My Ride: 535d Sport in Carbon Black / high gloss shadow line and beige leather / dark poplar with professional nav, bluetooth phone prep, CD changer, bi-xenon adaptive headlamps, servotronic steering, folding mirrors, heated comfort seats, TV, extended voice control and Logic 7 hifi.
I assume you'll be using lower profile tyres with those 20"s and therefore keeping your rolling radius the same?
The only time it would have an effect anyway is when the sat nav is forced into "dead reconing" - i.e. when sat lock is lost, so I wouldn't worry about it, unless you drive mostly in tunnels

I would be more concerned about your speedo being off and your tire pressure monitor being off. I don't think it can be reprogrammed if you vary from the stock total wheel/tire diameter.

My Ride: 2006 BMW M5, Silverstone with black extended leather, brushed aluminium trim, Nav Pro, Logic 7, PDC, 35 % tint.
I noticed a problem with my nav. once I put on my goodyear F1 GSD3 tires. My navigation system was about 10 - 20 metres off. When I took my car in for a software update, they also fixed this problem.
P.S. Don't forget to reset the tire pressure monitoring system. I did this but my system was still off.

Plus once you get out of the tunnel the GPS satellites will take over again... nothing much to really worry about.
