If your X has the hardrive set-up that can use a thumb drive in the USB port to upload new map data...there are multiple ways to do this. Some free and some are "for pay"...it depends on your abilities and comfort level.
I bet if you do a simple google search with a few keywords...you can find the multiple threads/links to download the latest maps to a thumbdrive (you'll need some tech savvy to do this)...or you can go to one of the multiple vendors that will allow you to download the latest maps (for a fee)...but again, you'll need some tech savvy...or just pay for them to send you a thumbdrive with the data ready to upload. Then there's always your local BMW dealership...but be prepared when you hear the price.
Again, if you can upload though a thumb drive...you'll need a FSC code (forgot what the acronym stands for)...but map updates will not occur without the FSC code. You can buy a one-time code..or buy a life-time code.
Doing a quick google search...I found these two "pay-for-it" sites just typing BMW nav update into the search box:
- https://bimmeramerica.com/coding/bmw...ion-map-update
- https://bimmernaviupdate.com/navigation-maps/bmw/
And by typing
"bmw map update download" into a google search box...I found lots of links that will give you info about how to find free maps and download them yourself .
