It's very nice sure, and I've gone for it this time, but it wasn't just a Nav vs no-Nav decision for me, it was the look + other technical benefits.

Last car, I decided not to give BMW >2K for Nav.
a) because it didn't look good in 3-series IMO
b) My TomTom was <£300 and in many ways superior.
c) Replaceable (with new improved versions, transportable)


I'm sure I'll be happy with the New Nav. - but it still won't do some of the things my 2 year old TomTom will do.. e.g.
+ True real-time traffic - collating data from every vodafone user in the country (works in many countries in Europe)
+ Integrated cheapest petrol finder
+ .. a few others but they're the main ones that will be missed from £2.5k BMW SatNav.
