Guys ....

I just dug around in the trunk to figure out exactly what TCU BMW stuck in my 08 M3, manufactured in April 08

To my surprise it says ....

BMW TCU1.5 MOST GSM US
84.10.9181276-01

So maybe, maybe ... a small maybe if it really is a GSM TCU the google maps capability can be switched "on" somehow .. ?

Very easy to check what TCU you have. Simply open your trunk, and then lift up the trunk floor. The TCU is located in the right hand corner. Rectangular silver box with Continential stamped on it. (Continential purchased Motorola Auto Electronics who originally supplied the TCUs for BMW)
