surely there is a perfectly adequate explanation as to why you would buy a 104000euro car and not get a 2000euro pro nav ....
post your pics on m5board.com ... im not sure they`ve ever seen a vanilla m5 over there
You must be a jealous bastard that can't handle people having a great car, and all you can do is to just sit on your ass all day playing with diecast models.

For all those that ask the question why no Nav on the M5, the answer is simple there's no need for one here in HK.
Is not even an option that's offer to us in any model range even for the 7 series, Hong Kong is not a big place so there's no need for a Nav. I have never got lost here in HK and I have only been driving here for around 3 years.
As for the HUD, it's not standard in HK. I don't even think they have an option for it.
Please go to www.bmwhk.com to check the spec of the car before making any misinform statement. The site is in english so I am pretty sure you guys will have no problem reading it, if you spent the time.
And yes owning a M5 cost a fortune and it doesn't even have Nav or HUD.

Actually he is Schuey
Thanks for clearing things up, but I don't think it is worth while explaining things to such an idiot, this waxker just want to start a childish keyboard fight where he is safe
You think he will dare to say such things face to face 
I was going to take more pics of the engine bay etc to show how genuine it is, but now I've given up.

All M5s come with prof Nav and hud too so since he doesnt have it... it must be a fake.

You can buy the M5 and have some leftover for a MV Agusta F4 1000 S

no nav in hong kong is not bmw's fault, i remember reading something about the geography is not suited for GPS road navigation, therefore there exist no mapping data available.
might also be true for singapore as well, can someone confirm if navGPS is available in singapore?
comparatively us in north america especially canadians get the car at half price compared to singaporeans. perhaps we all should get one or two for the hack of it.
on another note i agree the 'normal' idrive screen looks substandard to the pro nav wide screen...well.....

Plus we don't need it is one of the factor. I do agree the small screen is substandard, I was wondering how the system reacts if the larger screen was install
