I have seen elsewhere that BMW do an ashtray to glasses box conversion for the front ashtray. Has anyone found a DIY way to do this ? Yes, I could give BM some cash but I would prefer a "custom" solution.    🙂

Hi John

I found a manual for my 5 series on www.manuals lib.com. It's not perfect as it only has left hand drive. However, any port in a storm.

Thanks. as you say, close - but no cigar   🙂   Happy Christmas all.

Have you tried BMW ?

I thought the Owners Manual was part of the CIC/CCC these days could be wrong though

I have searched their web sites (UK  & USA). I am waiting for an e-mail reply too.

Would a Haynes Manual help?

My name is just a coincidence.

To be honest, no. I am after an Owner's Handbook. I HAVE a Haynes manual   🙂

I have searched and I have Googled but I can't find a copy (either free or paid for, PDF or dead tree) of the owner's handbook for my 2010 325i SE convertible (UK version prefered but beggars can't be choosers). I can get near, but no cigar. Anyone know where I can find such a thing ? I would be happy to host a torrent on our work server if anyone has.

On a slightly different note I updated the nav maps to 2021 with no trouble at all    🙂

The binary I downloaded is    UPD01008.bin

I guess you have checked Youtube and Google for tips and hints? Check www,realoem.com if you haven't put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model see what was fitted.

Thanks Dave but that does not seem to tell me anything I had not already found out  😞l

Right. The menu system is in the list style rather than the four boxes so I guess this means that I have a CIC system rather than a CCC. Is this right ? Does this get us any further forward ?   🙂  I still have no Software Update option however  and simply putting the update on CD did not help. 🙂

For information I have a CCC head which MAY be a problem.  I wonder what would happen if I burn the binary to a CD ?

I just brought a 200 325i SE which I am pretty happy with and i checked BMW's web site for firmware updates. I put in my VIN & it downloaded a binary. Put binary on nice clean USB drive and inserted same into the USB port. Looked for "Software Update" on I Drive.... and the option is not there. What am I doing wrong (if anything) ?
