Couple of questions for new 2011 owner
feel free to bitch first about not searching. That said:
I just acquired a May 2010 build M3 and have the following questions: 1. I have the original nav installed, is the 2013 upgrade worth the big bucks. 2. Is the combobox upgrade worth the cost (about 850.00 installed) 3. Do I have the old software (240)? 4. 9231088, 9231090 or 9231092. How can I tell what version. Thanks

I would always upgrade the nav, just personal preference.
I think the combox is more than worth it. Streaming music is great! 240 is the newest software. |

As far as the Combobox, I have it, and I think the main value is running apps. If so, I don't find the usefulness all that compelling, and I wouldn't update for that price. It would probably be more useful to someone using Pandora, but I listen mostly to Sirius. The main BMW app is kind of lame. I think the most interesting feature is being able to see exactly how much gas is left in the tank to the tenth of a gallon. I keep thinking at some point they'll release some compelling app making me really glad I got it, but so far not so much. If they ever get emails from the iPhone working, that might do it -- you can get text messages right now, but not emails. I'm sure you can get a better answer in the forum specific to this, where you can find out exactly what you get with this upgrade, and then decide if it's worth it.
