UK 2012 Pro Nav (609) Delay?

Long time lurker, first time poster.

My 520d SE is on order and is due to be delivered mid-September

I work for a UK car leasing company and thought I'd share a document I read this morning.

Most intriguing info is on the last page -

Please note that the new system is currently (as at 06/12) only available on the following models:
- All F01/02 LCI models (included as standard equipment) from SOP 07/12.
- All F31 models (as an option) from SOP 07/12 production.


Bit of a bummer for me as I thought my July-build F10 would come with the next generation nav, obviously not it seems!

Interesting.. I've ordered a 530d and it finished production on 04/07/12 and I believe may have just entered UK today. My dealership assured me that its got the new Nav system.

I should get the car next week smtime, will confirm it when I get it. It would be a major dissappointment if its not there

I've got a 520d with Pro Nav being delivered from the dealership on Friday next week. I've also been hoping that I'd get the new system, given BMW's annoucement said F10/11 said from July Production. My car is coming from a leasing company, so I don't have the dealer contact to ask about this...

My original understanding was the F10 would get the new nav from July build onwards - maybe this is just for the USA only.

Looks like we will find out more next week once your cars are delivered!

Fingers crossed you both get the new nav.

I was also told by my dealer here in Germany that I would be getting the new system in my September delivery. Maybe BMW should have given it a new code instead of 7SP to distinguish the new from the old one...

I will be following this thread closely. Here's hoping that you get the new system!

I think (hope) that this is out of date. In June my dealer sent me copies of the internal documents that state it becomes standard from Week 27, July 2012 build. He also confirmed only a week ago that it will be included on my car going into build next week. But he has got things wrong before........

So interested in hearing fom everyone next week

It wouldn't make sense for F10's to have different nav systems if they are all produced on the same assembly line. I trust the documents posted on this forum by Jason more than the leasing company.

Not arguing with Jason's post at all - the document I posted is also a genuine BMW UK publication which is sent to leasing companies and dealerships. Seems BMW themselves don't know what the score is! (Nothing new there, perhaps...)

I'll know in about 2 weeks when i get my 2013 F10 (Week 27 build) if it comes with the old nav or the new one.

I will be furious if i got the old nav because i could have gotten a 2012 with a steep discount instead of waiting for the 2013 nav change.

Hopefully out of date. There is a lot of conflicting information about. Nuance (the company who provide the new dictation tech) posted that it would be available first on F31 and F01/07 LCI. The new Pro Nav is obviously a prerequisite for this, as you'd need the improved processor and 3G connectivity for this to work.

At the time I was just hoping that they specified these two cars as they are clearly new builds, not just a manufacturing year change. July build F10 could easily be confused (look how confused it's getting us!).

I'll continue to hope for the new NAV, and I guess I'll find out on Friday... Will post once I know.

Just noticed the document cjcj posted was dated in May. Hopefully the information BMW have released since then supersedes it.

This is not helping me with the wait...!

I changed my order from an F30 to an F10 largely because I wanted the new navigation system.
If, contrary to BMW's press release, it arrives with the old system, I will not be accepting the keys.

The worrying thing is that none of those documents mention the upgraded 609 navigation system.

EDIT: Jason has advised that the published schedule was a worldwide release so hopefully I'm getting my panties in a bunch about nothing...

Never mind, it will come around eventually. I think for my own sanity, I'm going to mentally add on a week to my estimated delivery date of 22 August...

It looks like our best bet now is richiemail...his is due tomorrow!

Still tomorrow as far as I know. I don't know whether I'd prefer to have an answer before delivery or not. Will post once I receive the car.

BMW normally change production in week 36/37. In a German forum, they believe cars produced in week 38 will be the first with the new nav.

That is often true, but it's not a hard and fast rule. For example, the E60 LCI was in Spring.

There is also the small matter of a global press release saying all 5 series built from July onwards will have the new system.

We'll find out soon.
