There were a few glitches when I went on some new roads and on checking the map version its clear that its not been updated since original purchase in 2016. Any recommendations for map suppliers, unsurprisingly BMW is asking far more than other suppliers, for pretty much the same thing.

Regards

Chris

How much were you quoted by BMW? I got the maps updated last month in my 2015 E89 at my local BMW dealer for £35. Seemed like a bargain so I didn’t question the price!

They probably made a mistake!

I got mine done for £45 and they gave me a 3 series GT to drive whilst they were doing the work.

Mine will only update using 3 DVD’s. The BMW independent I use can’t do it so I may have to talk to the main dealer. However I am in no rush as I updated my maps to 2018 and I can live with it for now.

yep mine has it. (2009 car), update map software through glovebox USB
