I hope the above info is useful to anyone who stumbles across this thread in the future. I would definitely use them again as I think they are a decent company and much cheaper than Revtronics who quoted £375 to repair CCC and £195 to repair Mulf. I then called Romania and the guy was apologetic and units were finished and ready to dispatch by end of the that very day! DPD then took an age to deliver it (about 10 days). After about 10 days I did send an email and was told it was being worked on and would be ready in a few days, but wasn't. The reason is that while the repair was fine and it is a genuine company that replies to emails quickly, they took almost 14 days to work on the unit even though their website says 3-5 day turnaround time.

Total cost: £289.94 (with 1 year warranty on both units). £26.94 to send both units to Romania via ParcelforceĢ5 euros for shipping (they used DPD who were quite slow) Very fast startup and no lag when going through the different options.

May also be worth trying if you can´t get your DVD out, since the GBP 200 investment is better than a few thousand.I received the CCC drive and MULF unit back on Monday, and it is working perfectly. is a GBP 250 job overhere, probably half in the UK. The most common problem (in Scandinavia that is) with the CCC is that the DVD drive reading unit starts to misfire, that reader problem makes the entire system unable to start - this can happen with age, or a scratchy DVD - regardless, IF you manage to get your NAV DVD out by resetting it (with the volume, and both eject buttons pressed at the same time for a few seconds), try leaving it out - if your system stays ok, get your BMW dealer to exchange the DVD reading unit inside the drive and all is well.

The usual answer from BMW (After you´ve tried to reset the unit with the three button combo - which by the way also works when ignition is off - with comfort entry / key) that you will have to replace the unit - HOWEVER, and here it goes: Some of the CCC professional units in the e60/61 fail after a while with CCC screen going black and not starting at all - the idrive knob spinning etc etc. I have tried to search for it but have not found it in the forum, so please excuse if its a double.
