Just in the process of updating the music on the cars hard drive. Wanted to start fresh so first job was to delete library which took longer than I expected, and then copy about 10GB worth of music from a USB stick - currently sat in the car staggered at how long its taking. zzzzzz

USB import - SO slow!
- Thread starter JohnDonovan
- Start date
Just finished - reckon it took just about an hour to delete the old music & upload 10GB off the USB stick
Bloody hell - that's huge, my whole iTunes library is under 100gb.
Actually, is it possible to get at & upgrade the HD in the Z4 to a bigger one?

From other posts I've read the drive is a specific auto-motive grade drive for vibration performance etc, which in itself is not a problem, as replacing it with a completely solid state drive which are cheap now-a-days would be sufficient. However there was also information that the file-system was custom to the iDrive (the drive also contains all the iDrive operating software) so you'd need to carefully clone the data between the new and old device, then identify the partition reserved for music and try to resize that partition.
Tricky, easy to break something, probably not worth it.

Right - I wondered if it was a larger drive containing more than just the music partition. Will leave well alone!
