As far as the updating map database you need an FSC code as well as the USB map update - both can be got from ebay and forum torrents. TBH £110 is a lot but downloading the maps from torrent sites can be a PITA. I would buy an unlimited FSC code and then buy the USB stick with maps and do it yrself....

Thanks for your reply.

Hmmm, from all the benefits you're listing there, OS flash sounds EXTREMELY attractive. One of my biggest pet hates about my iDrive is the stupid delay in answering a call - honestly can be anything up to 10 seconds now!

I'd be very very interested to know how/if anyone has managed the OS flash themselves, would be up for trying this for sure.

Thanks for your advice though BP, will consider doing the Nav updates myself at least.

Nice car by the way - I had a 125D M Sport, Estoril Blue just like yours before my M235i
