CD gives you access to map updates: automatically updating UK maps while driving, and via the download-to-USB mechanism for Europe.

With my ProNnav, I got 3 years membership.

I thought with my Pro Nav I would have, but no!

Really?? I knew my Deezer was due to expire after 12 months but connected drive? 230+160 for deezer, £350!!

Deezer is the only thing I use for the "Connected Services" and I'm still deciding whether to drop £160 on that alone. The rest of it is a waste of time.

£160 for Deezer? Isn't it normally £11 a month or something like that?

To have the Deezer package through BMW it's a £160 one off payment for 12 months. This allows you to use the cars 4G sim card to download data/music.

Couldn't I just sign into the Deezer on the car with the Deezer account I already have? Sorry, I'm yet to take deliver of my car.

I'd check with BMW because that doesn't sound right.

Our ConnectedDrive services are valid for 36 months.

Not as far as i'm aware :( That will only allow you to use the regular Deezer services through phone apps, desktop etc. If you look on the Deezer account it actually specifies it's a BMW subscription too :(

If I don't need to pay for connected drive, I'm still considering renewing it. I love Deezer :)

That will be bloody annoying as I have loads of music already on my Deezer as I've had an account with them for nearly 5 years. I'll have to play music through BT as always ☹

Had a look at Deezer's FAQ page today for bmw online services and it says on there that if I already have a Deezer account (which I do) then I could just sign in using my log in details. I'm feeling relieved now knowing I can carry on listening to my tunes in my new car without having to re-download

Check that email again..

I have one that is badly worded and is actually telling me that my online entertainment is running out. Which I expected.

"Your BMW Connected drive SERVICE is about to expire"

The service being Online Entertainment.. Not Connected Drive itself :)
