tires: 245 40 18 Sottozero Pirelli winters (non runflats)
2004 RX330 Lexus - crystal white - reliable, quiet, and the "beater" car for ski trips, hauling, etc.
1995 E34 540i 6 speed black/truffle interior/alpinemp3/XMradio/M5 alloys (Many tears...sold to a fellow Boston bimmer enthusiast!)
How do the directions appear on the HUD? does it say what street you are on or only arrows?

My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
The Nav in my Range Rover is about 10 times better. At least with my Range I can search for the name of a store or location. I can't believe they don't have this feature in the BMW.

I asked this a while ago about my 2005 545i with NAV, and the answer was NO, you can't search by business/restarurant or any POI name....
I've navigation systems in two Lexus, BMW, Infiniti and Mercedes..... BMW is the worst by far..... the new systems in the 2006 Infiniti and Lexus are by far the best.... no comparison...

Dude, you have no idea what you're talking about. BMW has always had this feature in their nav systems and it works quite well. The phone numbers are there too so you can call the store on your integrated (bluetooth) cell phone.
