There's no doubt that it's good to have a built-in NAV in car. But BMW's NAV even doesn't have touchscreen and is much slower in input speed, compared to an $100 Garmin GPS. That is, I can input an address into a Garmin within 30 sec, while a BMW NAV always took me 2 min to play around the wheel-input input system.

If all NAV comes with HUD. I agree to pay higher value for the them together. But I don't understand why does one want to pay few hundred~1k more for NAV in pre-owned arena?
You don't have to manually input the address through idrive on 2010 and newer nav-equipped 3 series. Just press the voice command button, say "enter address", and then just say the address w/city and state. Just like that you have your destination set. I've not had any issues using my nav this way - it definitely adds value to me.
