Have to agree 100% - I can believe any one does not have auto hight beam.. but having the choice is the key - I have never had a choice (ie been able to spec my car before) having always just got whatever was on the forecourt, not even had a real choice of colour. It was the choice options (and cost) of the X1 that made us look at the X3 - Im so pleased we did as even the base X3 is a good package so everything else is a bonus -some will not be able to live without and some just dont know why BMW offer them!

For us the electric seats are worth every £ or $ since we use profiles to switch positions and it gives me a big smile every time it happens. (I am 6ft wife is 5ft!)

Got it and love it. Windshield is different if replacement needed. If you tilt your head to side with polarized sunglasses, it will come into view.

Not sure what the cost of the option is in the US, its quite a pricey option in the UK.

I had it on my old M5 and it was a great gimmick and useful to see various bits of info displayed.. and I am sure its come on since then, however I would suggest it really depends how often you use your navigation system. If you are an occasional user then its an option I would say was a luxury, and based on UK prices I think I could justify going for other things over and above that.

However, if its cheap or you have loads of cash to burn or you use navigation often, then its a great option.
