The burden is on you to prove your point, but you can't. And if you can't prove your point and I can prove my point (the numerous businesses operating legally providing these services instead of BMW), then your premise is wrong.
Deal with it.

There is absolutely no question whatsoever that copying and selling map discs is illegal. I have no need to save face. It's unarguably illegal, beyond any question. I simply cannot imagine that you honestly do not realize that. There is no conceivable way you can prove doing this is legal.
The fact that someone does something, or even that many people are doing it, doesn't prove that it's legal - it merely proves they are getting away with it. The fact that BMW isn't currently pursuing legal action against sellers of copied discs (or sellers of hacked FSCs) doesn't prove it's legal - it merely proves that's not currently a priority for BMW.
There's nothing "ridiculous" about my suggestion, which would be a way to establish how BMW really views illegal copying and sales of their nav discs.
Selling a hacked FSC is not even similar to selling aftermarket water pumps.
