Hello all

Im the proud new owner of a 2008 e92 335i - getting imported from Japan nonetheless! Just received images of the car at the port in Japan and safe to say im beginning to get excited now. One thing has occurred to me however - when the car arrives in the UK - will i be able to listen to UK radio stations and have access to a map of UK road networks on the iDrive system?!

After some trawling of online threads and discussions, i cant seem to find a definitive answer. As Japanese imports are common in New Zealand, plenty of posters from that part of the world have started threads - however i wonder if this is a different ballgame altogether from the UK side of things

After seeing lots of terms thrown about like CIC, CCC, INPA etc... i think i might be more confused than i was when i first started researching this!!

Can any clever person tell me what i would need to do in order to get this updated/changed to run smoothly in the UK?! Can it be done DIY or should i get ready for a nasty bill at a specialist? All replies welcome!

Cheers
