When you copy a newer version of the sat nav dvd it seems very sluggish in operation. Has anybody else had this problem.

Maybe you should consider purchasing a new copy instead of copying...

It also depends on what medium you have made your "backup". DVD +RW will be slower than DVD -R, though you can reuse the disc...

There is nothing, AFAIK, to indicate that READING rewriteable media (RW) should be slower than recordable media - whether it is PLUS or DASH format.

My Ride: 2005 525i : Alpine White, Steptronic, Black Interior with Amethyst Leather & Popular Grain Brown, 17" 122-Style Rims, Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights, Auto Dimming & Folding Mirrors, Advanced A/C, Sports Steering Wheel, Electrically Adjustable Steering Column, Extended Lighting Package, PDC, Sliding Armrest, Bus Navi, Hi-Fi Sound System (MP3 DVDs), CD Changer, Rear Sunshades..
MODS:M-tech front bumper, Painted Grill, Installed Aux-In, Garage Door Opener (Overhead Compartement), ///M Steering wheel, Wood hand brake trim, Wood gear-shift lever. 35% Tint all around..
Got, ACS Roof Spoiler, but not installed..
well slower write speeds do help sigificatly, and improve the read performance as their is a less probability of error when writing at a slower speed....
also even though there is nothing to indicate DVD-RW are slower than dvd-r, not all drives are capable of reading DVD-RW properly and to be honest there is nothing to indicate that our drives are compatible with dvd-r, +r -rw +rw , i think they all work but i dont think that the manual says anything about dvd-rw... so my best suggestion is to go with the DVD+R or DVD-R and a slow write speed and see if that helps,, also use some good quality DVDs..

My Ride: 2007 E63 M6: Silverstone Metallic... Fully loaded2005 DINAN5 (545i): Jet Black... Fully loaded1955 Chevy: Custom
I know that I've had problems reading back up nav on DVD-R (some times it can be read most of the time it can't, tried multiple DVD-R discs) and it's all good when switched to DVD+R (recommended by a friend).

It's all hearsay.
Unless you know the brand of drive used in the e60 you can't start talking about compatability with particular media. Modern drives play everythng.
As for writing at slower speeds. About three years ago that was a potential issue. Drives and media have moved on so much now that this no longer figures.
People pick up a mantra and chant it without understanding the chant.
