Thanks, nospam. Are you implying that iDrive,phone screen, and nav are not one and the same (option wise)? [This is 'hope' talking]. I know in other models, in the US, you can have the screen w/o nav. It sounded like it was all or nothing, though, for the X1. I currently have E46-era nav so I'm used to being disappointed. j/k It's not that bad, just dated.

I'm fine w/ the storage box, but it would have been nice to have the screen and not fork out for nav. Google maps on my phone is hard to beat. Currently debating a Sport vs M-sport line X1....for the money, it seems the latter is the better option. Aside from the larger/thicker side and thigh bolsters, my only other requirement is heated seats and, in lieu of a 6-sp manual, paddle shifters. It sounds like the paddle shifters would require a custom build w/ careful attention to what is optioned out. Conversely, it seems that they (the paddles) can be retrofitted fairly easily for a couple hundred bucks.
