Torrents, I got all the BMW navi disks there.

My NAV update experience. I updated my 2011 CIC X5 35d, it was using NAV version 2010.

I also tried to buy the 2012 DVD from BMW, they are not stocked any more, no one in the country has them, nor does the dealership know if they will get them. So I downloaded the torrent, and burned 3 DVDs. The DVDs seems to burn fine, but disk 3 would lock up or freeze and spin, i could hear it repeating its cycle in the CD player. So after talking to some people, I started the install over from the USB. You will need 3 separate usb drives. The system asked to insert USB 2 and then 3, similar to the DVDs. Good thing about this was the data from the DVD install was stored on the HD and the re-install from USB1 and USB2 lasted a few minutes, as all it did was confirm that the data was copied over. Then I inserted USB3 and this seemed to take forever, maybe 3 hours. Perhaps it froze like DVD3 did. I eventually shut the car off and the system said update successful and then rebooted.
Map version says 2012, and everything seems to run ok. I know the maps were updated, as my drive to work now shows the new road. It was under construction last year and didn't show up on my old version. The UI doesn't look any different, and I think the perspective 3D maps didn't get copied over.

Does your 2012 updated version of the Nav maps give you the perspective view in 3D option?

In the menu > views > my perspective view in 3D option is grayed out. I'm thinking the 3D maps didn't get copied over during the install, unless I have to pay for some feature i'm not aware of. Can anybody verify that I should have the 3D maps?

Yes, it does have the 3D option from the perspective view.

Not sure if anyone that posted in this thread came across these maps, but I really need the west coast maps. My girlfriend's car was taken to a friend's shop. it was there for a little over a week. When I picked it up today, the friggin nav dvd was missing. My buddy doesn't know what happened to it, but suspects one of his workers. Long story short, I need a disc ASAP. My girl wanted to go to a different shop, but i convinced her my guy was legit. Unfortunately now I look like a jackass because the disc is missing and she doesn't have navigation in her car now. Any help on this would be great guys. I'm not trying to spend any more money on the car than we already have. (just dropped 2,000 in repairs at a labor rate of $20 hookup). Hope you guys can help out.

Not sure if you're asking for a free disk or a cost efficient disk. And you gave no vehicle information to tell if you need the HIGH disk or the PROFESSIONAL disk...not all BMW Nav systems require the same disks.

Here's a link to a "cost efficient" HIGH disk (I have no affiliation with the seller...just did a quick ebay search): 2013 BMW High Version Navigation System DVD West Updated in 2012 | eBay
