There are some 2014 Navigation DVDs floating around out there from places like eBay and the like...

Do you have to have CD or can your system use the DVDs?

EDIT: I'll add that I have been updating the GPS on my 2005 Porsche 911 (997) for the amount of money involved for the limited DVDs available and the Firmware updates required, I would have been better off getting a really nice Garmin, even the most expensive one would have cost me less then what I have spent so far.

Best of luck.

Motor On!

Maps for your 2008 hardtop are on DVD. The final map version for your car is 2015 (no newer version is available). If the dealer doesn't sell it, search eBay for "ccc professional navigation map". You can use either BMW or MINI version of the discs.
