Just like you, I have a NUVI and I really love that thing. But, I hate how it hangs on my window. I especially hate when the battery starts to get low and I have to plug it in. That wire just seems to get in the way no matter how hard you try to tie it down. I guess what I'm saying is I love less clutter in the car when I'm traveling out of town.

 

I had nav on my two previous cars and is currently on my wife's car. In 5+ years, I think I used it 10 times. Not an issue at all for me.

nav not really needed. price is too high though. i purchased my 545i 3 months ago with 22k on it and i paid 40k. maybe should be around 39k

 

I actually prefer an old fashion map so I can visualize the whole route before looking at the specific streets/highways. I have a Garmin but I actually do not like using it at all. Tends to send me down weird streets and the voice drives me crazy! So, the answer to your question becomes completely a personal preference. I would take it if the car was a great deal but it was not a must on my 2005 CPO that I bought. Bought mine without and have not looked back.

 

I don't agree, fewer miles, Sports Package and Logic 7 shuold easily be priced higher than your car. Nothing wrong with your car, not saying that, but those two options alone should add at least $2-$3k to the price I would think. Did you buy your car CPO from a dealer or as a private party transaction? CPO warranty adds to the price as well...

 

What did you decide to do?

 

It turns out the car is Titanium Gray, not silver. Gray looks great, but I need a lighter color because I live in the city and can't wash and wax it the way a dark color requires. If it were silver I would have gone to test drive it tomorrow. However, under the circumstances I'm probably going to pass.

Thank you all for your comments. You are a tremendously supportive group of people.

Regards to all,

Well, that makes your decision easy! My previous BMW was Titanium Silver and it hid the dirt pretty well.
Good luck with your search!
