I think I have Inadvertently found at least part of cause. I wanted to put music onto Nav5 so bought a 32gb card but when i put card in could not get postcodes or towns when searching. Asked at BMW and was told to just hook up to express and it would sort itself out (but keep old card in case) which I did. No update or install. Postcodes and towns came back and all good. Still problem with no music so searching and found Nuttys law so checked and found no south Europe so reinstalled maps. Yesterday after reinstall of maps on new card decided to check original card and found same problem so updated.Put new card back in and sure enough no south Europe so it seems if you take card out you lose south Europe at least I did. Also dont rely on checking maps for south Europe in nav it was showing ticked on mine but no map. Better way to check is zoom in and check minor roads are there. Apologies if this has already been noted but couldn't find anything.
