Upgrade to NBT

Hi,

I am looking to upgrade my EntryNav to an NBT, but other than eBay there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the UK or even Europe I can find.

Even on eBay they are primarily all coming from Latvia or Lithuania...

Anyone got any ideas where else I can look pls?

Thanks

Got mine from eBay, it was shipped from Lithuania, came in prefect condition. I looked at retrofit ships but they are charging an insane amount compared to the eBay route.

But arenīt you curious why there is so many navigation equipment offered from these countries? I donīt think there are even so many BMWs there...

@mbro: If you are from UK, it should be no problem to find something in the western EU area.

There are some companies, especially in Germany, which buy parts from BMW test cars. As far as I know these cars are all not sold to public but parted out. Of course such parts have their price, approx. half of regular new price.

Iīve also seen quite often an Ebay shop called "Delta Amazonas" (artursk2005) with UK address, which is selling regularly BMW navi stuff at reasonable prices. No idea where it comes from, but maybe an option for you?

Of all the NBT units I've seen retrofitted, they have all come from Europe (based off the VIN). The buyer I brought from was in 'Ireland', when the package came it was from Lithuania. To be perfect honest it didn't really bother me, it's been working fine for the past 1.5 years.

Cheers all for the feedback, just didn't want to buy something from an non reputable source, you have given me some viable options - Thanks all.

Buying from an Ireland seller and receiving from Lithuana is an "interesting" mixture
Maybe it is in case of the UK seller I mentioned the same? You never know. So be careful.

In German forums you can read very often that the car was broken in and nav Professional + M steering wheel was stolen...
