while simultaneously enhancing your driving pleasure.
The GPS navigation system frees you from the burden of reading maps or looking
for road signs. It will guide you to any destination recorded on your map CD/DVD.
The radio, with its superb reception quality, joins the cassette and CD players in
providing optimal sound to satisfy every taste while serving up entertainment to
make every trip seem short.
The computer calculates vital operating data – including average fuel consumption,
cruising range on the remaining fuel and the estimated time of arrival. It provides
additional safety before driving – for example, with entry of a code number for the
engine immobilizer – and during driving – for example, with an acoustic warning
tone so that you do not drive faster than you intend to.
We wish you an enjoyable driving experience.

is stationary, and always obey the
traffic regulations and road signs in the
event of any contradiction between the
traffic situation and the instructions
given by the navigation system. If you
do not observe this precaution, you
may be in violation of the law, and can
endanger vehicle occupants and other
highway users.
Never place any metallic objects,
such as umbrellas, on the rear tray
(sedan and coupe) near the GPS
antenna, as such objects can interfere
with the GPS reception and may prevent the GPS navigation system from
operating correctly.
The GPS navigation system eliminates
the need to consult conventional road
maps as you drive. It therefore makes
an important contribution to traffic
safety.
GPS stands for Global Positioning System.
This integral component within your
vehicle's navigation system relies on
reference satellites to determine the
precise position of your vehicle.
The result: the GPS navigation system
automatically offers reliable guidance to
your selected destination.

Map CDs/DVDs are inserted in the navigation computer located at the left rear
of the luggage compartment.
To ensure that your vehicle's navigation
system has access to the latest highway network information, always load
the most recent CD/DVD version of the
digital road map. As is the case with
conventional road maps, the map CDs/
DVDs are subject to periodic updates to
ensure that they reflect the latest information and surveys.
The DVD will be available at a later
time and will provide additional
features such as larger map scales.
<
Changing the map CD/DVD
Map CDs/DVDs contain road maps
covering one or more countries or
regions. When you drive your BMW, the
navigation system will alert you when
you are leaving the area stored on the
map CD/DVD that is currently loaded.
You should respond by changing the
map CD/DVD in the navigation computer.
Only map CDs of version
2001-1 or higher can be used.
To change the map CD/DVD:
1.
The CD/DVD is ejected from the
navigation computer (press button
several times if necessary)
2. Remove the CD/DVD
3. Insert the new CD/DVD
4. Allow approx. eight seconds for the
new CD/DVD to start.
To exit the GPS navigation system,
press the button again:
When entering your destination, you
can select from among the following
options:
>
Destination entry and selection
>
To select destination from map, refer
to page 27
>
To select the destination via information on the destination, current location or country, refer to page 29
>
To select from among recent destinations, refer to page 30
>
To return to initial location, refer to
page 31
>
To select destination from address
book, refer to page 40.
After selecting your destination, you
can proceed to activate the guidance
function, refer to page 33.
The example shows how to use the
GPS navigation system to find the
following destination:
455 N Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills
Only enter data when the vehicle
is stationary, and always obey the
traffic regulations and road signs in the
event of any contradiction between the
traffic situation and the instructions
given by the navigation system. If you
do not observe this precaution, you
may be in violation of the law, and can
endanger vehicle occupants and other
highway users.<
