How to identify your BMW iDrive version

On most BMWs, you can identify your iDrive navigation version this way:

1. Go to the Navigation menu on your iDrive.
2. Press the “Options” button on the iDrive controller.
3. Select “Navigation System Version” (sometimes listed as “Version” or “System Version”).
4. You’ll see details like:
   • Map database region (e.g., “Road Map Europe WEST”).
   • Year/Quarter of release (e.g., 2022-1).
   • Head unit type (NBT, CIC, EVO, etc., depending on car model/year).

This info helps determine whether your BMW has CIC, NBT, NBT EVO, EntryNav, or MGU (iDrive version).
