At this time I'm expecting to have it by the weekend and will provide information to the X5world community as to how to obtain a copy of it.
Personally I am in the camp where, while I acknowledge that it is copyrighted software, BMW does offer to its owners a free update of the firmware to the navigation system that we have already paid BMW for the rights to benefit from. Accordingly, I view this as a service being provided by us to BMW free of charge to help with the broader distribution of said firmware updates
Stay tuned....
