Hi,
I'm new here. I'm looking to upgrade from a 2003 525i to a 2006 525i (or 530i). I found a gorgeous one with low miles and sport package but no NAV. Then, found a couple of similar ones with NAV but, significally more money.
My question here is.... In your opinion, Is NAV on a 2006 E60 worth the extra money? How much?
Thanks

That tells you the car with NAV have better resell value.
The NAV system on e60 is the worst I ever experienced. I will still get it if I have a chace to pick again, you do not want to buy a portable NAV and stick it on the windshield.
All luxury car should come with NAV standard.

get a Magellan from Costco! Way cheaper, Way Better.
But first, it's illegal to put Nav or any device on the dashboard in California. Second, have you ever think about when you're in an accident and your air bags deploy, where is the portable NAV gonna go??

I agree it's much better than the Nav on e60.

Close call - I love the integrated Nav Pro
But have to say the ?125 TomTom I gave the wife for Christmas is a better product in many ways - and the maps much more up to date
Also checkout the BMW price for DVD updates - they are a rip off so I always buy one disk behind on e-bay. Just bought 2007-02 that way
