Like others have said though, best case is I get the updated nav; worst case, I get the current nav in a still very awesome car.
Congratulations on your new car!

I was very surprised to see this being offered and very tempted as well, but I decided against it as it was pretty pricey. I believe it was $2,550. Not really worth it to me.

For what it's worth, I recently tracked my E90 328i with stock brakes and they handled pretty well. By the end of the day they were feeling a bit warped and soft, but my friend with an M3 was saying the same about his.

Food for thought.
$2550 seems like a fair price, based on what I've been reading. Still, a bit pricey for the potential improvement over the stock 335 M-sport brakes.

When you say confirmation is only a month away, what kind of confirmation will you be getting? A car with PW46 may not even show up at your dealer until early January.

I will be following your updates closely. I'm wrapping up the sale of my current M3 next week and will be ready to order a 335i M-sport, via my dealer.
