Quick & Urgent question ;-)

does the 08 M3 read DVD movies, or is that DVD player just for the navigation CD?
Thx, Sadd.

Y is it so urgent? Do u not have a dvd player at home? Or r u trying to take a girl out on a date and would like to watch a movie in ur car since parents might be home? LOL, either way, answer is no. Its only for the dvd based navi.

No, it was another guy who got his car at the same time. I finally started reading the owners manual today. I think you need a Masters degree in electronics to understand all this shit.

The new I drive is the easy part!

My 08 E92 M3 shows a DVD menu on the screen when I access the CD menu with iDrive, so I thought it would play a DVD, but when I tried to watch a DVD, nothing show up! so I guess it's just a teaser!

Bring a 10' DVD player with you if you want to watch movie in the car!

08 M3 DVD drive and idrive doesn't have the required MPEG decoder to play movies I heard while the 09 M3 DVD drive does. Probably just a software update IF BMW decides to put it in there as a patch.
