The $2500 is for the technology package, which gives you a lot more than just GPS navigation. The display is the heart of the iDrive system, and without it, you will have limited functionality. The tech package also includes voice control, plus BMW assist and Bluetooth (the latter two costs $650 without the technology package). The tech package is also a requirement for parking assist and rear view camera.

Yes, it's expensive. But not compared to the overall price. In my opinion, saving money on not getting the tech package is like saving $50 on buying a DVD player without a remote control. Sure, it's usable without, but...
