Navigation Updates

Dear All,

How do i8 navigation map updates work? Are they over the air? Are they free for the first X years of ownership?

I'm zeroing in on a 2017 model so I guess the maps will be current anyway?

Cheers

The dealer will sell you the update that will be written to your HDD. For cheaper options check eBay or the other forums here that have more sub forums.....do a search, it will save you money over the dealer. Or negotiate it for free into your deal.....

I think most have 3 years of free map updates. If so you download them onto a usb device from the bmw portal and update the car with the usb device.
