The owners manual said go get the DVD plug it in and follow the instructions to install the new maps. So I figured 200 bucks (same as it's always been) and have new maps for both cars.

Imagine my surprise when I found out the cost was 5X that.

I complained to everyone I could as far up as I could get at BMWNA.
I'd just spent $200K in one month on two new cars, bought 6 new BMW's in five years and after 3 months of complaining I was given a 400.00 gift by the dealership that I could only use there.

It's a rip off not to mention that the navs in these cars have less funtionality than a $100.00 Garmin.

Plus keep in mind there is no backup. And I'm told if something happens to your nav and you lose the installed maps and those maps are out if date; they can only put the new version on. Guess who pays for the new maps if that happens.
