I have the same issue on my 2011 F10 550i. Streets that have been upgraded for two years show up as country roads instead of Highways. I went to upgrade the maps for $199 as BMW adverts but was told the price was $450. HOLY CRAP!! They said this is because it is a Hard Drive based Nav and not a disc. Come on BMW - are you kidding me. Its a download from somewhere in the shops system to the car. Anything more than that and BMW would not have implemented it. Nobody goes backwards in terms of costs.

My guess is that this is a price gouge and i was really upset at being treated as if I was too stupid to understand how complicated it was. BMW margins must be immense or, if they hold to the story that it is complex then I have to assume BMW got stupid. Stupid is as stupid does and I don't think Forest would be confused about this one.
