Same reason BMWNA decided not to offer the sports suspension or sports seats as standalone options (only available on Sports Line) it is called CASH... bundling makes the avg. price per unit go up.

Most people opt for nav in luxury cars these days- now in the F30 those people are forced into dropping money on options they wouldn't have bought if they want Nav.

It is short sighted as some will just walk away and take money elsewhere or not get nav and leave the brand. BMWNA will need to rethink this when the Cadillac ATS hits as it will be much cheaper. The ATS-V will cost the same as a 335i, as well as the increased competition from MB.

The HUD is useless to me in summer bc I am supposed to wear polarized glasses (issues with floaters and sun spots) and that kills it, the rest of the year it is fantastic.
