You can get upgrades from a BMW dealer or directly from NavTeq:

As far as what's the best? The best is probably the latest version...

I have 2006 as well, and I find it doesn't have some newer streets obviously, but it messed me up a few times telling me to turn where there is no left turn or to a one way street, etc. I hope the 2009 would have fixed these, I need to get the new disc as well.

I think you can contact Navteq directly to inquire about what street updates are on a specific map version year. But in some areas road changes occur after the map has been finalized and produced. That isn't a problem where the NAV system is being supplied with satellite info. But the e60 nav is reading the DVD based map - No live data there
