2015 nav maps disc
 

Hey,
I saw a guy had posted a link to the updated maps for sale on ebay but now that seller is sold out, does anyone have a link to one that will work in an 01 x5? I cant find any on ebay.

I think this is for the MKIV nav system.

That says its for the 03-up...

Are you looking for a CD or a DVD? The 2000-2002 E53's came with the MkIII that was CD-based. The 2003-2006 had the MkIV, which is DVD based. Hence that auction is a DVD and says it is for 2003+

If your nav drive has been upgraded to a MkIV then you will be fine. If you still have the original MkIII then you need to look for disks that are on CD's.

If you still have the MkIII nav drive, here is a 2015 CD that covers the New England area

I thought all X5s had the mkiv, and the E39 got bumped up from the mkiii to the mkiv in 2003. My mistake.

I looked at that link, and interestingly it doesn't show the 2005 X5 4.8is on the compatibility list (all the other 2005 X5s are there).

it would be compatible - all 2005 E53's use the same nav drive (the mkIV)
