7 digit nav postcodes only appeared in the Map data in late 2010, in line with this BMW also updated the NAV o/s to handle 7 digit postcodes.

So if either your map data or the NAV o/s is pre late 2010 you cannot use 7 digit postcodes.....

as before, if you've had the obd security update, I would expect this to update the integration of the whole car, which would include 7 digits...
