BMW Premium Maps FSC Code — CIC Navigation Systems
If your iDrive shows “Road Map [Region] Premium [Year]” — for example, “Road Map Europe Premium 2026” or for similar to Factory Installed other region like e.g “North America Premium 2024” it means your CIC BMW was factory-fitted with Premium maps and this is the correct FSC code.
Check that string before ordering. CIC vehicles can have Premium, Move, or Motion depending on which navigation package was ordered at the factory. Assuming Premium without checking is the most common CIC ordering mistake. A Premium FSC code will not activate on a CIC vehicle with Move or Motion maps.
Which Vehicles May Have CIC with Premium Maps
CIC was fitted to most E-series BMW models with factory navigation and early F-series production up to approximately 2013. Premium maps came with the Professional Navigation package.
Vehicles that may have CIC Premium: E90/E91/E92/E93 3 Series, E60/E61 5 Series, E63/E64 6 Series, F01/F02 7 Series (earlier production), E70 X5, E71 X6, E83 X3, E84 X1, early F10/F11 5 Series and F30 3 Series (pre-2013). Your VIN confirms which of the three CIC map types your vehicle has.

CIC Navigation— Confirm Premium Navigation Maps Before Ordering
If your iDrive version screen shows “Road Map Europe Move 2025” rather than “Road Map Europe Premium 2026,” the BMW CIC Move maps FSC code is the correct product. If it shows “Road Map Europe Motion 2024,” order the BMW CIC Motion maps FSC code instead. A Premium FSC code will not activate on either.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm I have CIC Premium and not Move or Motion?
NAV > Options > Settings > Position and map version. “Road Map Europe Premium 2026” = Premium — correct product. “Road Map Europe Move 2025” = Move — different code. “Road Map Europe Motion 2024” = Motion — different code. Do not assume Premium from the CIC head unit name or vehicle model alone.
Can a Premium FSC code upgrade a CIC Move vehicle to Premium maps?
No. The factory map type is fixed permanently by BMW’s VIN-linked coding. A CIC with Move maps accepts Move maps only — no FSC code changes this.
Does this work on NBT Navigation systems?
No. Premium maps are CIC-specific. NBT shows “Road Map [Region] Next” and requires a NEXT FSC code.
