Since the old Nav disc was stuck in the old DVD drive I also got the new 2007-2 Nav disc !!
I must say that the new iDrive software is MUCH more user friendly and a bit faster with MANY improvements. (I have yet to discover all of them, it's only been 3 days) But the fonts and colors alone are much more appealing.
BMW is certainly on the right track with this revision. If you can get the update by all means do !
By the way, how do I access the software version number ?

(Actually, the 2 year lease is up in March and I will be ordering a 335i coupe)
You do not "access" the version number. What you use is the very nice copy of the Measures Plan or Final Report that you certainly asked to be provided to you, right? From that you will find the new (as well as the old one you were on) Target Data Status, and from that we translate into the PROGMAN version. Simple, eh?
