This isn't unique to BMW, unfortunately. The thing is that the navigation software doesn't act intuitively. For example, if there are multiple turns coming up with a short interval between them, the arrows will guide you in one direction (to avoid a turn that you're not even considering) and then quickly change for the next turn. This always happens when driving West on I-70 in Columbus and changing to OH-315 N. The navigation system signs say to follow I-70 W until you are right at the exit for OH-315, then it changes.

Best rule of thumb -- zoom out on the map to see where the navigation is ultimately guiding you through an intersection and use common sense. I always try to get an idea from the route list prior to entering an area with lots of turns in a short time frame.
