Is the iDrive system with 6.5" screen standard in Canada?
I'm trying to figure out whether the X1 in Canada comes with iDrive and a 6.5" screen as part of the Radio Professional, when you *don't* order the Navigation package (which otherwise comes with iDrive and an 8" screen).
Here's why I'm confused: If you use the Build Configurator on bmw.ca and you *do not* select the Navigation Package, you will see in the dynamic photo of the Dashboard (in the top-right corner of the configurator screen) that there is no iDrive Controller knob, and there is what looks like a storage compartment in place of the dashboard-mounted screen. However, if you then proceed to the My BMW page in the configurator and click the Your BMW At A Glance link, you have the option to Print Configuration. Do this and select the Premium printout, then click OK, and a PDF document is opened in your browser. In this configuration summary of the standard and optional equipment there is a description of the standard BMW Radio Professional along with its "iDrive system with a 6.5" high resolution display". I'd like to have iDrive, but I don't really have a need for the Nav package. Will I get iDrive standard anyway? Has anyone seen a Canadian X1 without Nav yet? Thanks! |

Hmmm. I think that you just get a storage space if you don't order Nav. And that I Drive and Nav go together.
I believe that is what the rest of the world gets too. However, i'd double check with a dealer. Where in Canada are you?

When I test drove one, the rep said that it would have a display screen if no nav was installed.
Somehow the steering column sticks would be used for interaction rather than an iDrive controller. Not much detail and I have not seen on in real life. I'm interested in how this may work as I will not be getting NAv and would still enjoy some sort of display. |

no Nav = no screen. I'd ask the rep or someone else there the question again.

The 'display' screen they mentioned is just the radio display. Like I ordered the USB and Bluetooth option and song names and contact names appear there.
It's right - no Satnav, no big screen, simple as that. |
