I believe 2008-1 is out, or about to come out. This means either wait for the new one and buy it, or wait for the new one, then buy one of the many 2007-2 discs that will appear on eBay. There are usually a few available on there anyway (http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/sear...tle=bmw+2007-2) but there will always be a "flood" just after a new version is launched.

It is expensive because people will pay that price for it. It's a BMW ... that's what they do

Looks like it's $199 here:

I made a backup copy of my disc (keeping the original as a master) and it seems to be fine. Don't know about any 2008 version...

I didn't hear anything about a 2008 version either. Heard the 2007.2 version would last awhile since the maps on the 2007.2 included new developments, and those in the planning phase that are approved by the city... (not sure how true that is either)...

Maybe 2008-1 is coming out in europe first, you havent listed your location in so we dont know where you are. But trust me, 2008-1 is already here, if you know where to look.

just burn it slower and in another mode to see if that helps.

Yes, although not sure about the legality of this (according to Sony, making even 1 copy for yourself is stealing [this is from unrelated file sharing suit] 1 copy)

I'm guessing the dealers will charge as much as people are willing to pay.

Anything can be ripped and burned with the right software, xbox games, wii games, movies, nav discs.

Of course you must not do it if the material is copyrighted.
