Because your car was built after September 2010 and thus has a Combox fitted.
Weirdly although the Combox first appeared in March 2010 on the E90, the F10 didn't get it for 6 months despite being an all-new model. So the first 6 months of production don't have it.
That'll be why too, also got full post codes
I can't remember the last time I entered a destination into the nav, I just send everything to the car from Google Maps on my PC or my phone
If you have a BMW Connected Drive subscription, you can send destinations to the Sat Nav by clicking 'Send to Car' in Google Maps. You also get a Smartphone app which allows you to do much the same thing, as well as other features like remote lock/unlock, BMW Concierge service from the nav, etc.
It's free for 3 years then £120 a year. Every car has a 3 year subscription free once activated, the guy who bought mine new never activated it, so happy days

Yea got that had the app but never really used it much other than to make my lights flash and impress people. Probably lapsed now as the chap before me never had it either, probably because it was BMW.
Yea, I never use the app (Except as a proxy because if you click a place on Google Maps on your iPhone or Android device and hit 'Share' you can 'Share' it with 'Send to Car' and it does it) but the ability to just click on google maps is amazing.
Yes and no - it is handled by the combox on combox fitted cars and by the telematics unit on pre-combox cars. You don't need a Combox for it, I don't have one and I get the BMW Online features etc too:
It's a subscription service though and it doesn't work with retrofits because the VIN's don't match up etc IIRC.

I never go to shopping centres or Basingstoke so I guess it's no use to me

You can fit the NBT system to your E92, can't quite remember the total cost but it was around 1k so not much more than fitting the CIC system.
Where did you see that? Can't find any UK info for that and the US based stuff is a lot more expensive.
