Ok I have discussed this with BMW in New Zealand and will post the results here just in case anyone else wants to know in future, as there doesn’t appear to be much knowledge on this subject here.
iDrive 7 - can be changed by the user. Miles <=> Kms, Mpg <=> km/l
Navigation - local maps can be loaded at a cost
ConnectedDrive - this is a no go due to “issues with Germany”. My car would forever be tied to a UK dealership. I could not get any further info on what the issues are, but it sounds like it is a policy decision rather than a technical limitation.
Maybe one day BMW will change the rules but it’s not possible for now.
Hopefully this info helps someone else out one day.
