Business Nav
Does anyone have a Business Nav? If so please post pics and provide a review. I currently have an E92 and don't have a Nav. Ordered an F10 and thought it would be good to have an inbuilt Nav but thought £2000 for Pro Nav was way too expensive for a Nav despite, hard drive and 3D images, so settled for the cheaper Business Nav. However, I can't forget how good the Pro Nav looked when I test drove the car. I've been tempted to change my order. I tried once and the dealer told me when he amended some orders the delivery was delayed by up to 4 months, so don't want to risk it. Help!!

Secondly ... Dont listen to the dealer about 4 months delay because amending .... unless there is a part supply problem this is pretty much rubbish and likely to be sheer laziness because he can't be bothered to do the change on the system and change the order paperwork. M

The Pro Nav is well worth having - not only does the much bigger display look better itself, you don't have the plastic fillers to make the smaller screen fit in the same hole which look ugly. You also get all the HDD media and stuff.
You've spent a lot - an extra monkey is well worth it!

Thanks xenon. I'm going to make the change if possible. It's the only thing in my spec list that I remain uncomfortable about. I'm waiting to hear from the dealer whether it has gone into production.
............................ Update: Spoke to the dealer and he said his systems are down but he believes it went into production this week. He'll check first thing on Monday and if it hasn't gone into production he will change it. However, I'm not holding my breath.... I have a feeling he doesn't want to amend the order.

Hey ukstevens... The thing is my dealer has never spoken about an end of June delivery with any certainty. He always says that he will "try" to deliver it by then or he "would like" to deliver it by the end of June. The delivery on the order is scheduled for July. Thanks... mostly happy with the spec.... have all the external options I want (forgot to add model designation deletion above) but doubts about the nav. I should stop looking at all the nice pics on this forum :-). If it's gone into production then guess the positive is I'll get my new F10 this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FWIW, mine was scheduled for Wk2 July, now been told it's in the run and it'll be Wk 4 June - those dates look very similar to yours so I'd try first thing Monday and see if you're lucky.. I changed my spec 3 or 4 times and my date came forwards regardless, so the info you have isn't concrete.
And yes, I've seen Business and I've had (and ordered) Pro - IMO it's easily worth the extra, if only to get rid of those cheap-ass black screen blanks!! (To add, leave the car with it's ass in the sun for an hour, whip out an old credit card, 10 mins later you've done your DIY model deletion )

Your dealer will be able to look on his system and tell you exactly what stage the car is now..... dont let him fob you off with wishy washy answers just because he cant be bothered to look .... I say that assuming its a main dealer and not a broker or leasing company ? because they wont have first hand access to that info.

My order was placed on 26th May and took a slot already in the system that had been ordered by the dealer, so they amended the spec from theirs to my vehicle. By Monday 30th the order was locked down and became non amendable (because they tried to add surround-view for me and couldn't). It is shown for week 23 production (this coming week) and is expected week 27 (w/c 4th July), however the dealer is confident they will have the vehicle before month end.

I had the business Nav and although it works it's pretty poor. I've just changed for a new X5 with professional Nav and it's so much better. The split screen is really needed as on the business Nav whenever you display the Radio, telephone etc it will keep constantly switching back to Nav if you have a destination set. On the split screen it won't do that. Also when setting and choosing alternate routes there is no map overview like on the professional Nav so you have no idea which route it is taking you.
And then there are the plastic spacers in the dash which look cheap! |
