EDC, Comfort access and M Drive........ get the tech package. If you are going to drop the nickles for the car, drop a few more and get the options.... just my .02 cents

In short satellite radio and nav are the least of what you give up. |

I find BMW's nav to be so-so but the rest of the iDrive stuff is very useful. All of the settings, etc.
EDC I can take or leave. Comfort Access is one of my favorite things. CA and iDrive are things I would want on any BMW |

In reality, no ZTP means no MDM and no Comfort Access. Everything else can be ordered separately.

Get the Tech package, load the car!
I ordered mine with every single option, a car like this should be fully loaded.

Your going to miss out on MDM which is excellent IMHO. Comfort Access is cool but not necessary. I'm not a huge fan of the IDrive , and the BMW Nav leaves plenty to be desired if you ask me. I've searched for very well known hotels, restaurants, and golf courses on the points of interest and they are nowhere to be found. By comparison a good friend of mine has an Acura TL and his Nav is touchscreen and has never failed to find exactly what we were looking for when looking for a restaurant or something of that nature. It is also much more user friendly. BMW dropped the ball in this department if you ask me, they need to go to a touchscreen system soon and ditch the IDrive, although I haven't heard anything indicating that they will. I would suggest getting it, the MDM alone is worth it.

Sorry, not getting the tech package on such an amazing car would be a very poor choice. Why not make it the best it can be? no regrets! Dude def go to a dealer and play with it. It's amazing.

The tech pkg is a must have if you want the ugly double hump dash!
