Hi Kiasu King and bimmernic,

Now I understand why you want the Highline version.

Dear mother, you cars are expensive down there,
my new one is only about 60,000 ?.

Best of luck with your new fine automobiles.

Heard that the Navigation System Professional will come as standard for the 523i Highline as the Navigation System Business does not work with the Singapore GPS system. This will save us S$2910 to upgrade from Nav Business to Nav Professional.

The wider 10.2" for the Navi Pro is indeed nice and the "free" upgrade is definitely a bonus. However, since I had no need for the GPS navigation, I decided against the Highline version. Nevertheless, it would have been nice if Park Assistant could have been ordered as a standalone option - would have been useful for co-drivers . In the end, there wasn't much savings to be had since the Sports leather steering wheel, Sports auto transmission, Hi Fi Professional and M-Sport suspension option boxes were also ticked

we went for the HL version, but to be honest i doubt the park assistant will be very useful in singapore. If I am not wrong there needs to be a clearance of 1.2m, with lot sizes in SG, i dont think there will be much opportunities to use it.

You will get it. I ordered the first batch and ticked the Nav Professional option. SE told me payment will be refunded.

Kiasu King and bravojs, if you are collecting on 22 May, congratulations! Understand that about 200 units will be delivered on that day. If true, it will be a madhouse at PML.

Is this confirmed? Did not hear of this from my SE. If true, it is a nice piece of news ...

Yes SE confirmed. Hopefully the new maps have been improved over the previous versions though..
