Map update for an X5 M50d?

thegingerninja · 16-01-2019, 11:23 AM

Morning all - it's been a while since I've been on here (I still have the CSL, 13 years on!!)

Thought I'd ask you lot first before trawling through internet fake news, or being stung by the dealer........

I have just bought a 2014 X5 M50d F15 (awesome piece of kit by the way), and was wondering if anybody knew the best / easiest / most cost effective way of updating the nav? I have had a quick look at BMW connected drive, but I'm not entirely happy with allowing some unknown organisation to track what I'm doing in my car and what speed.

Any ideas? Please do tell me if you think I'm being too suspicious about the connected drive.....I have become quite mis-trusting of third parties collating personal data.

Many thanks,
Simon.
