I bought a DVD through this website:

It adds 3d perspective view and night mode (you have to manually select it). Also, surprisingly, it knows several of the stoplight cameras around my neighborhood now.

The graphics are still pretty basic, especially compared to newer in-car nav systems and even a basic smartphone app. But it's cheaper than the BMW DVD and has some added features over the basic BMW option. Short of major car surgery, this is probably the best update available.
