Are you sure? It should definitely have a DVD drive with pro nav. business nav is a CD Drive, pro nav has a DVD drive and a 60GB HDD (12GB for music)

I remember that I was told, you can "connect" a dvd player and then you would be able to play it through the Nav display; not just reading the normal DVD. That's what I understood. Does it make sense? Does it also play other formats (than DVD)? I have a Nav Pro (Technology Pack) on the 28i. Is that different from the 35i or it is only the number of speakers? |

The description for the professional navigation package (on website) in the UK and in Australia clearly states DVD not CD player. Not sure on Canada but it should be stated on the online config tool.
It only plays DVDs and you can't play other video files either as files on a DVD data disc or on the internal HDD unfortunately

Since there's no such thing as pro or business Nav in the US as there is only pro Nav, I would think that any of the options that let you upgrade to the Nav with the larger screen would play DVDs. |

I read this thread this morning. In my previous E91 I had Nav pro with the DVD-Drive, but to watch a movie I should have selected at the order of the E91 the additional TV module. When I ordered my F25 in february I remember seeing the TV module option in the long list, and I did not opted for it. I only selected nav pro. Right now I took a dvd movie and jumped in my car to test if it was true... and and the movie worked fine. That's a great bonus of Nav Pro.Well done BMW for that.
Now the only thing is it didn't work while driving, and that a pitty for the passengers. |

I was wondering if there is an output so that we could carry that image to the rear seats via an alternative display? I'm guessing I'm going too far with this right? |

In the US there's no such thing as basic, business, or pro tiers only business which is standard and anything upgraded from the standard is essentially the pro tier in other countries. With that said I believe any option that adds the pro nav to the car whether it be the nav in the tech pack or individual option as long as it adds the nav with the 8.8 inch screen you can play DVDs. While I have both the tech pack & upgraded audio (separate options in US) I don't see why the upgraded audio would affect the X3's ability to play DVDs as the upgraded audio essentially adds more speakers and a larger amp to power them. PS: Forgot to mention in the paragraph but yes I was able to play DVDs in the X3 by just putting a DVD into the normal drive on the center console, I watched Watchmen and that movie with James Franco where he got stuck while hiking and had to chop off his arm. |

Otherwise, bmw provide a solution with one TV in the middle or 2 tv screens on each side (in the back of the front seats) for rear passengers. |
