Hi Ren Yes it should work as my car was an early 2008 GTS and they all have the same Navteq system. In fact, it's cars earlier than 2010MY (so 2009 registered) that the updated discs are for as since then, they are still using the same 09/10 discs! Hope that helps. Regards Andrew

Cheers Robert...yes, an absolute bargain given on eBay single discs are selling for this price! I'm moving house soon so am keen to get rid of things that I really don't want to move hence my recent clear out of my old stock of bits!

I've still got my updated navigation discs for sale for the Granturismo which, when I bought them 9 months ago, were the latest ones available (they're dated 09/10 as they only launch new discs every 2 years....I think they're still the latest versions!). These updated discs cost £236!!! but...

Yep, thats the best strategy I think! It is all down to the design of the installation and you've probably hit the nail on the head with regards poor cavities - in the Maserati for instance, the speakers just screw into the metal of the door and right next to it is a big open hole to gain...

Cheers BB....for a car I owned for such a short period, it's a long story on the M3! I swapped it for a Jag XFR which I really liked until I drove a new XKR which I liked more and that is what I have now owned for the last 5 months (so that's doing quite well!). Just done a 3k mile trip round...

Guys, Just thought I'd give you a heads up to my eBay listing for some of the Bose parts from the Granturismo I had last year which I'm selling (I'm fed up of them accumulating dust in my garage!). The eBay listing is 300681198485 and the link is here Starting price is just a fiver plus...

Ha ha, you guys that interpreted my post that I'd won the actual car are funny! Just to clarify, I won the dealers demo for the weekend and was then so impressed with it, I went and bought one for real. It may be seen as a good marketing ploy on the dealers behalf but they didn't know me...

.......remember, one wasn't enough for Prescot! Hi everyone! Well, after a very short time in the M3, my ownership of that came to an abrupt and early end after......mmm, lets just say a change in circumstances! As I met a few of you back in the summer, I thought I'd now update my...

My 4-seat 'MC Stradale' was much cheaper than any of these ;) However, don't forget that one of the major costs of the Stradale (contributing at least £10k+) over the GT-S is the ceramic brakes which can't easily be retrofitted (I looked into it....the ABS ECU is different and apparently...

I'm here chaps...always checking in ;) I'm knew these were dropping fast and steep but I'm still quite surprised at the price this one is at - the seller even states that it's negotiable which is a little unusual in how they've phased it. They obviously want rid of the car quickly and has...

No, BMW don't pay for it as from their POV, it's not faulty - indeed, look at any BMW and they are all like this (Merc's similar too but not as bad). I could have bought any M3 in the country and it would have been the same. As Benny said, the majority of people wouldn't even notice it just as...

Unfortunately the discs don't work in the 4200....as David (Cossington) just found out :( This means my bargain upgraded sat nav discs (still in their delightful leatherette pouch) are still for sale. Come on chaps - this too good an offer to miss.....even if you don't have a car to put them...

And magnificent is the only way I can describe the result :) I finally picked it up today after my detailer had it for a week and it still has all the paint on it! But it now has a great optional extra.....some real shine and reflection! My detailer quoted 3 days to do the work but it...

Matt - I would eat my shoe if you could get the parts cheaper than I did ;) (it was £2.5k as I had it fitted at Graypaul and even then, they undercut Shiltech's quote to get the business) The parts were at little over cost price - I paid a touch over £1k plus vat for 4 springs, 4 dampers, 2...

Thanks guys...pm's responded to!
