All they had to do was stick with NavTeq and NOT make a decision to switch to the cheaper TeleAtlas data source. We're not talking big R&D buck here.

FWIW, I downloaded the Nav update from the E90 link, burned an ISO using the disk utilities program built into my Macbook, and swapped it in last night (09 X5d). I had to turn the car off, let it sit for 5 minutes, and restart it, and thereafter, it worked perfectly. There are a ton of new roads in my area that are now listed. Worked great. Thanks for the link!

Has anyone noticed the extra disk seeks and spins with the newer 2010 and 2011 map updates? On my X5, it heard more CD spin noise while driving. Has anyone experienced the same?

I noticed that when I burned the disc initially at a higher speed and it had errors. You may want to try to burning another copy at a slower speed and maybe a different brand DVD and see if that fixes it. Also I have had an issue with it seeking a lot, and I just ejected the disc and re-inserted it. For whatever reason everything started working smoothly again, so for obvious reasons I would try that first and see if it clears up. I am assuming you are using a burnt copy as opposed to an OEM one.

About the extra spinning ... I have that with the 2009 double layered dvd and remember that the local dealer replaced the dvd player due to issues related to reading these double layered dvds.

I tried another brand of DVD disc this time. This time the disc spins less often than before. It's an improvement for sure but not completely eliminated.

Does anyone know anything about updating the sat nav for the Hard Drive (new iDrive) system? We were in my dad's 2010 X5 this weekend and there were a couple roads missing, namely a few bypasses that actually have been there for a few years. :dunno: (I was driving "in a field")

Yes.

I posted about this in the nav subforum as I recall

I searched that forum and couldn't find anything about updates for the hard drive (plenty for the DVD versions).
