Obviously my decision to buy a car isn't based on the NAV screen but that is one aspect that can sway me away from a car. I don't understand what best buy would have to do with it, so I can get an even uglier windshield mounted NAV screen? My point is that NAV is pretty standard on any upper end cars now, almost any car priced at $60K or more has it standard, and this is a brand new 3 series design, how could they not incorporate it better into the dash? the 5 series, 7 series, SUVs all do a nice job of it, why not the 3 series?
The 3 series is an entry level near luxury BMW. Sure, you can go overboard and add in all the newer kinda high priced options, but why?
Checking everything in the 335i puts the MSRP at $58,720.
NO thank you.

Since you're willing to spend $70K, then why not just get the 5?
Here's what you can get for right under $65,000
535i w/sport auto trans
M sport pkg.
Tech/Nav
Heads up display
Heated seats
-Pretty loaded and it looks sweet with the M-sport pkg.
And, the Nav is nicely integrated into the dash.

For about $70K you can get the 550i M sport, V8 turbo, sweet.
