DVDs have area (region) codes that they are designed to play in. A DVD for the Canadian & USA (region - 1) won't play on a DVD unit designed for other regions. See the list of international DVD regions (aka AREAS) below:
- R2 Region 2 ~ Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland

The last 7 numbers of my VIN are LZ18076, the link below shows the options on my car (if the link works)

I am aware of the DVD region codings, but I am just wondering why they bothered putting in regional coded DVD players, when the DVD is for discs with data content only. The DVD player is primarily there for the sat nav, so why did BMW go to the effort of regionalising them for different continents? They build the cars and they sell the discs, so why not just put in a Region 2 which covers Germany into all of their cars..... or, can the DVD player be used for something else
I'm just wondering, there has to be a reason.
