Perfectly normal, although I note you did not report the S/N values.

Stoneage software.
4-1/20 was produced by BMW in March 2004, so 6 years ago.
Your nav has never been updated since the car was manufactured.
There have been 9 updates since March 2004, with the last update released March 2008.
The current SW version is 4-1/100
You can update straight from 4-1/20 to 4-1/100 by inserting a V31 or V32 OS disc into the nav and following the on-screen instructions.
These are available for download on this forum or google BMW V32.
There is no need to go to a dealer or pay anyone, the upgrade can be done at no cost. Your stated earlier your dealer updated the software, but the current version in your nav conflicts with that statement!
I strongly recommend upgrading to 4-1/100
You will get new features and lots of bug fixes, one of the best new features is the 3D perspective-view of the map!
It may also cure your problems...
