At the time I had the infamous 'shopping cart bug' problem with the navigation so they updated the car's firmware before doing the map update. So my firmware isn't the original--it has the version that was out around March 2010.

Boman993, in your iDrive, if you have the main map screen displayed and you press down on the iDrive controller, do the two grey info boxes (time/radio channel, map scale, etc) disappear/reappear? This was one of the changes in the newer firmware and a good way to distinguish cars with newer firmware vs original (pre-2010) firmware.
that stays put for me, so i apparently need the march 2010 firmware upgrade.
