I still don't understand why people are paying $2500 for navigation.

Because the system is quite nice...Quote:

It is nice and very integrated, but $2500 nice...
I don't get the $3400 for the M sport. I guess because it's cosmetic only. It looks good, but seems very pricy for cosmetics.
There is some added functionality, such as better tires, sport seats, sport steering wheel, etc.Quote:

When you're an "OE looking as possible" whore such as myself where an integrated solution is a must, yes, it's $2500 nice. Maybe when there's an aftermarket alternative that looks just as good and is just as well integrated, perhaps then we can knock the stock system.Quote:

Price out all of the individual pieces that make up the M-Sport package and you'll find it's an extremely good value if you're after those pieces.Quote:

Wait for the 340i/440i for '16, will be out soon now. New motor, new tricks.
60 large for a 428i with a 4-banger? That boggles the mind. It's a decent motor by all accounts, but dropping that kind of coin, I need a nice I6 under the hood. It is after all the essence of what a BMW was, not very long ago. Times they are a'changing.
I agree with you Kevin, I am not a cylinder snob, but does seem like stiff coin for a 4T. It did have the 8 speed auto, which I have to admit was really good. It kept the 4 pot in its sweet spot. I should caveat it with I pretty much just drove it in sport or sport +. In Economy it was very lethargic.Quote:
