Question Ordering X1, undecided on tech package

Hi -

I'm finalizing my X1 order and interested in anyone can convince me one way or another on the tech package.

I'm torn because I've just never been a fan of OEM navigation systems (although I've never used one from BMW before). They appear to be outdated so quickly vs. what I can get from a $120 TomTom, and then you're stuck with it. Obviously it's great to have it built in w/o the wires, but I rarely use Nav and on the longer trips where I do, using an external system is no hassle.

But I know with BMW nav also = iDrive. I've read about it on their site (obviously), but I would love any opinions on if/why iDrive is indispensable or otherwise worth the relatively high price of the package. Would it be silly to order the car without it?

Thanks! - ATM
