Just quickly scanning thru the new BMW magazine and there is an ad offering you an update to 2007-02 for ?99 for the dvd or ?65.00 for the cd version.

Has anybody seen this option for the US disc? And why do I get that sinking feeling that they're trying to dump the 2007-2 inventory before they release the 2008s?

Oh no, here we go again on the model year debate.

Is the LCI in Europe a MY2007?

Does the 2007-02 have a 7 digit postcode search? Cos i have apparently seen one that claims to be 2007 -02 but still has the 4 digit search only....

Actually, it's not an issue. It's sufficiently differentiated from the previous model to be "new". A number doesn't change or enhance that in our market.

Surely if you've used 2007-2 disc and it performs in a particular way then you have answered your own question.

Newbie,
2007-02 has a five digit postcode, at least it can recognise more postcodes than 2007-01.
