My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
If I upgrade to the latest v in my 08 E60, will the v I removed work in an 06 E90?

would the graphics look better?
Does it display more info?
Finally, when I look up the name of a business, is that info stored on the CD, or does it get beamed down from the Satellites?

It's important to note that the disc is just the raw data on the roads, businesses, etc. -- it's up to the car and the interface designers (BMW and/or whomever they contracted with to create the interface) to do the graphics, etc. In other words, the disc contains a ton of information but it's up to the car manufacturer to tap into that data and display it, etc. What that means is that new data discs don't usually affect the graphics or interface, they just add more accurate and up-to-date information to the existing displays. (Which also answers your question that the business names, phone numbers, etc. come from the disc, not the satellites -- the satellites only provide a stream of data that pinpoints the car's location on the earth.)

Pretty sure it would.
Another thought ... the NavTec update seems redundant if one has the BMW Assist Convenience Plan.

Hi - I have a newbie question, if you don't mind... How can I tell which version of the Nav DVD that the dealer gave me? (I just bot a 2005 545i CPO last week).
Thanks,
Randy...

I currently have 2007-2 for Europe and its clearly labeled on the DVD and case
On the back of the DVD case is the BMW part number and what appears to be two NAVTEQ p/n's.
Hope this helps.
