Current version for the Mk4 is 4-1/00 (means 4-1/100).

1) On a Mk4 you can load OS from CD or DVD.

2) Newer map discs have newer maps. If you want newer maps, get a newer disc. But the old one will still work. It just won't be so up to date. Just like a paper map 5 yrs old is not as up to date as a paper map from this year.

3) Burnt discs read slower than new discs, can make a big difference if your laser is old and tired. BMW recommend you use pressed (new) discs only.

4) Current map for Europe is 2009-02. It is available from BMW.
Sorry Jochen, are you saying just make sure i dont have the most up to date already or it will corrupt it? The one I have must be the most basic as it is not even animated unless you have the birds eye view ha

Does the V32 purely update the Sat Nav or is it the whole interface for the computer/telephone/cds etc? As i have seen some screen shots of the monitor where it shows for example track anmes and artists. Unless thats some sort of ipod accessory I guess?

Also (Sorry I know I am probably being a pain) but if you want to change the splash screen do you do that somewhere in the v32 files? I saw a guide somewhere for doing it but just wondered if it was that update disk, the 'M' logo looks a lot better than the standard BMW if you ask me.

Thanks again for your help, I read this was the best place to come and its proving so!
