The dealer said something about a difference between green and blue discs... They'd had success with one but not the other. Any ideas?
There are two different versions of the Nav DVD disk (one has a green label and one has a blue label). One is for the new 5 and 7 series BMW's that use the MOST bus and the other is for the older generation BMW platforms (such as the e53 X5) that still use the i-bus. They are not interchangable.

An 03 should have a MkIV drive unless someone swapped it out for a MkIII. If the face plate of the nav drive says DVD on it then it's a MkIV.
