Dumb question on Tech pkg vs Nav-only

mwh2009 · 04-11-2016, 09:30 PM

How can I tell when looking at photographs of 340i's out there which ones have the full Tech Pkg vs those that only have the Navigation option?

Most photos don't show the HUD area which is the only thing I can think of that would tip me off to the difference....

Both should have digital cluster too...as well as large iDrive knob. Does Tech come with bonus NBT features that navigation doesn't?

(I spend a lot of time on cars.com and autotrader and I hate having to read their description to find out). I've figured out a way to determine if most of the other packages are present from the photos)

E.g. Look for the heated steering wheel button or rear heated seats for the cold weather pkg., or the sensors in the bumpers for drivers assist, etc....

It takes more work, but you could go to an online BMW VIN decoder that lists all of a specific BMW's options.

This one is excellent and showed that I had head-up display (option 610, btw).

Copy the last seven digits of the VIN, prove you're not a bot, paste the seven-digit number into the VIN box, and look at the options.
