Did anyone recently getting a 2016, get a printed navigation manual with the car's owner pack? My 2016 F31 only came with the owner's manual on the car itself. The quick start card with the car referred to: "Navigation, Entertainment, Communication Owner's Manual". No such manual in my glove-box document pouch, which looks half-empty anyway. Dealer has been a bit vague in response to my queries. So - is this navigation manual something that was overlooked in my delivery?

BMW may no longer be providing one...is it available in the onboard iDrive manual?

Sounds like another way for BMW to pinch the pfennig. There is an onboard manual, but it suxx. Looks like I am going to have to find a 2015/2014 navi manual - don't think that things changed much for 2016. Anyone know the parts number for the navigation manual?

Been doing some looking on RealOEM, and it looks like the successive Navigation Manuals have been:
01 40 2 957 099 - 11/2014 to 3/2015
01 40 2 961 004 - 3/2015 to 7/2015
01 40 2 964 357 - 7/2015 onwards

So the last of the above series looks like what SHOULD have been in the 2016 model's owner packets, except BMWUSA decided that we really shouldn't get it. Keep 'em in the dark?

Of the above three part numbers, I can only find the 957-099 on getBMWparts, for $23.50.
