You can either get your dealer to do it, they may charge you - but it's only a 5 min job so they shouldn’t! Or you can do it yourself by downloading the software from here http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/all-bmw/navigation/9483-bmw-navigation-operating-system.html use Nero, or whatever CD burning software you have (use a slow burn speed on a good quality CD), to create a CD, then insert the CD into the Nav computer instead of the map DVD. The software will update and prompt you to enter the map disk again, job done! There is a 'small' risk with doing it yourself, if the software CD is not burnt correctly it may fail half way through, or if you turn the ignition off while it updates, but this is pretty unlikely.
