Not sure many BMW dealers actually have morals. You're not conceited but you have every right to be!

The only item I wish I had not optioned was the Pro Nav as I'd probably hardly use it. I only bought it because it looks good. Just like buying M-Sport Brakes.
Anyway, so far, the Nav appears to be beset with teething problems. It's all a bottomless money making pit, IMO.

They make all their money on options. A bit peeved off that I spent £5000+ on options of which nearly £2000 was on the Pro Nav.

Just checking I've got you right - you're saying the front rotors on the M Sport brake system are 370mm? That's serious stuff! |

£2k for Nav is outrageous no matter how good it looks, we are slaves to the Munich pension fund!

It's more than just NAV though innit. I agree it's outrageous but they also know it's #1 on most people's list, every company car will have it and you can't sell a 2nd hand Bee Emm without it. So we pay it.

Yes I guess it would be almost expected to have it when it comes to resale but I am sure BMW dealers will make a good case for their cars that don't have it. Depends if you are buying or selling. If you are going to spec business nav for £1.5k anyway, I guess the extra for pro nav might be easier to swallow but still a hell of a lot of money for us mere mortals.

Would have saved a packet by purchasing the Syrius Pro Sound DB8500 Sat Nav by Snooper with life time updates, 7" LCD Screen plus built-in DAB and FM Transmitter with the ability to play DAB Radio, DVB-T Freeview TV and Nav Instructions through the vehicle's in-built speakers. Feel I've doubly shafted myself superbly.

If you can't sell a 2nd hand one without it how comes they don't make the monthly payments more attractive to improve the residuals when contract hiring ?

BTW P64 my Dealer ETA is also 10/12! Same mother, different fathers! Semi-bastards obviously.

All 335i, whether US or EU/ROW have 4-pot front calipers as standard. I don't think they are interchangeable with 2NH cos the disc size is much bigger on the 2NH (370mm vs 340mm).

I think this "must have for resale" is just a way to make big bucks for the dealers on options, come resale time the dealers play the up or down game 0n your PX value. Some people get a bit sucked in ( me included) and go over the top on options, but come PX time I push as hard as I can on the next deal playing them off against each other to find a good deal

Just worked out Pro Nav would cost £55 per month on a 36 month lease. What co. car driver will downgrade the model to accomodate NAV? For those that bought Nav, it adds roughly £500 to the re-sale value. Not too bad as other than Automatic gearbox, all other options add zilch. Last edited by NISFAN; 12-02-2012 at 05:19 AM.. |
