My Ride: Alpine White F11 520D SE 2013

Hi all,

I am located in London, UK, and recently purchased a 2004 530i.

It has Sat Nav but only the arrow type not the map type. Can it be upgraded to the Map type, would this involve simply buying a new DVD or a new system?

Also, is it possible to upgrade the iDrive software? I am sure there must have been a new version out in the last 3 years.

Much obliged.

An iDrive update will probably solve your SatNav 'issue'. However, unless you can convince a dealer to upgrade your iDrive under warranty then it will probably cost you ?300-400 to get it done...
