Anyone have a better idea of this option?

Had a look at the satnav but I am not sure its any better than the Garmin I use at the moment. Cannot see how any manyfacturer can justify the satnav prices when an aftermarket system is as good and costs a fraction of the price. I know they bundle it with a sound system etc but my ipod does that as well, anyway just my opinion.

We picked our new X1 up on Saturday - I know we haven't got folding powered mirrors, but I have seen them mentioned in the handbook. There are quite a few things mentioned in the handbook which are country specific - and our dealer was hopeless as he hadn't explained anything - If you have any doubts, go to the dealer and don't be fobbed off with anything less than a full explanation. (People advising on here may have options we don't have in the UK)

The inbuilt sat-navs are good, no question - that is until they go wrong just outside warranty and you realise it's over £2k to fix it (Thankfully it was still in warranty on my E60).
