Upgrading Business nav to Professional Nav on 2011 model?
So I don't know if this has been asked before... Did a number of different searches and can only find people either retrofitting or upgrading from iDrive v1 to v2.
I have a 2011 135i with the Business iDrive/Navigation: But I'd really like to upgrade it to the Professional one: Didn't really have the option to get the Pro one when I bought as it would have been a 4 month wait instead of same-day pickup... Info I'm looking for:
Thanks. - Harlequin |

I may be wrong, but isn't the business version based on DVD navigation vs. the HD-based nav of the professional?
If that's the case, you're probably talking about doing an almost complete replace of the guts of your idrive. I didn't realize that it was possible to get business version idrive in the 2011 1'ers. I bought a 2009 model specifically because that's when they started putting the hard-drive based iDrives into the 1 series. Are you sure you've got the right software in there?

I'd recommend talking to Patrys on this forum. He specializes in iDrive upgrades. He should be able to tell you exactly what you need and how much it will cost.

I'm guessing I'm going to need a new Cowl, Screen, Main Audio Unit (Current one does not have a DVD drive) and possibly (but hopefully not) a new combox. Then a recode by BMW. Just need to find someone who knows more about it than me to get me pointed in the right direction. Quote:
