CIC Hard drive took a dump.
Day before bringing the X in for an oil service, nav came up as 'function not available'.


Hard drive failure. Replaced at NC. $2300 plus install to warranty. Lost a few songs on the hard drive.

Biggest surprise? They were able to order it by 12 noon and had it in house the next AM, car was done 30 hrs after dropping off. Not the BMW Ive been used to years ago (when they would not expedite shipping without major approvals)

30,500 miles- first problem.

Ard, its just a Toshiba hard drive, 80 GB. Its actually removable from the CIC, once you take the trim piece off, you can remove it without having to remove the entire CIC.
$2300?

Is it a regular HDD, or SSD? I always wondered if an SSD upgrade would speed boot up/response.

Is this something that we, as owners, could replace ourselves?

I'd like to know as well. Would be nice if it was a DIY upgrade to SSD.

I think its been tried (my russian translation is poor), according to what I have read on the russian coding forums, with negligible increase in performance

So does this mean that the regular HDD can be changed very easily?
