That extra $1000 for the Tech package gets you extended display in the instrument panel, BMW Apps, Enhanced USB and Bluetooth plus Smartphone Integration (without this, you're not streaming BT music to your phone, or over USB) as well as HUD. Also Advanced Real Time Traffic with routing assistance.

HUD is incredible, and I'll never get a car without it again. I test drove some 5 series, and the first one had no HUD. The first thing I noticed when I got in the car was "where's the HUD, how fast am I going?" The second car (535i) had HUD, but no Speed Limit Info. As I cruised out of the dealership, I kept wondering "what is the speed limit around here", because I wanted to push it a bit.

You never know how much you miss something until you try/have it for a week or so.
