  • Try https://www.tyresmoke.net and look in the BMW forums or post in there. Normally a helpfull bunch of guys.
  • Firstly, do you really mean a 350i??? When did BMW start putting 5 litre engines in 3-series cars?

    Secondly, do you have a Mk I, MK II or Mk II sat nav (which are CD only) or Mk IV (which can take DVD or CD maps)? You can tell either from the version number which is displayed on the top right of the sat nav screen. Also, if you look at the disk reader in the boot, it will say "DVD" on it if it is a Mk IV.

    You can only get a map of all Europe on DVD (it's too big to fit on a CD) so this will only be of use to you if you have a Mk IV. You can get individual European countries on CD.

    You can purchase the maps from any BMW dealers.

    look on http://www.ebay.co.uk there are usally loads on there, or you can set a search up for a specfic item and when one comes up for auction a email is sent to you informing you that one is listed.

    The costs usally amount from £20 - 80 depending on cd. The best idea is to ring up a loacl BMW service /parts place tell them your reg number and then they can tell you the exact part no. You can then you can do a specfic search on ebay etc.
