Yes I believe Phoenix was cut off in '04 or '05, so my car was an Individual order.

Clearly it hurts resale and cars without NAV sit for significantly longer, regardless of a rare color or not.

Adding the nav on a current model means the Premium Package at over US$4k. I guess the decision is whether the nav option expense is worth the difference. These are sportscars! Maybe with a luxury cruiser an outdated nav has more value, especially if it has the potential to be seriously upgraded. But at some point, I can't help but feel that the ancient screen, sluggish processor and low-grade graphics are going to detract, not add to the value, no? Or at least not get back that extra 4 grand invested. If you get a chance, if you haven't already, I recommend sitting in a new Tesla sedan at the mall and just take in the giant touchscreen, bigger than any tablet, bright, clear and intuitive. I think that's more like the kind of nav tech we're all going to have in 5 years, and the dinky screen on today's model (which already is a few years old) will feel like looking at first-generation Super Mario Bros. YMMV, but speaking for myself, I hated the nav in my 2007 335xi well before my 3-year lease ended. It was almost embarrassing. |

Plus in all honesty...My 2010 E90 335i has the hard drive based nav system and I use my phone for map directions 100% of the time while driving...who has time to peck addresses (which I got from goggle maps on my phone) into the nav system?

Personally I love the nav. My e39 M5 still has the original square (pre lci) nave screen. It's a bit slow but has updated maps and still does the job plus the tv still works perfectly (until we go all digital).
I don't think it affects the price on an older car but certainly makes for a quicker sale! |
