Sheps - fair enough and thanks for the info.
However I plan not to lose sleep over this dreadful revelation of purchasing madness |

I have an SE without sat nav.
I specifically looked for this combo as it has been proven that the extra weight of the sat nav increases 1/4 mile times.

The bit you are missing is this: nobody minds you having an opinion that differs to everyone elses but, and it's a big but, you seem to think everyone elses car is shit as a result of their preferences. You prefer your car for all the reasons that we are over-familiar with and that's fair enough but it doesn't mean a 318d M Sport is shit or worthless (or "pointless" to quote you verbatim) just because you wouldn't have one. I wouldn't have a tourer because I don't need the space and a two-door coupe is better for me but I still think the e91, in any engine size or trim level, is a fine car.
The value is definately affected by the lack of i-Drive but, as you say yourself, you don't like it / need it / want it and you're keeping the car "until it's worthless". That being the case, why the fuck are you getting such a bee in your bonnet about the whole thing? You need to look at many of the subjects that have started innocently on here and then kicked off into a whole load of shite and see if you can spot the common denominator running through all of them......

Hang on - everyone else's car is sh1t because it isn't the same as mine?!
Whoa - every single E9* BMW is brilliant be it a 318d or an E92 M3 (my favourite 3er). I don't think anyone's is sh1t - sure I wouldn't choose the same as some (or maybe most!) people on here but that's what makes the world go round - different tastes and opinions. I just chose a car for it's "ideal" (for us) spec so when someone dismisses something for dubious reasons (and it's often a direct attack anyway to get a rise) I will defend my decisions. However many just see what they want to see ("hey, he doesn't like 320d coupes - I'll think of reasons to knock him down and hound him incessantly" for example) and forget all the posts praising the 20d engine, the M Sport interior, the look of some big alloys, etc, etc. It's selective reading in the extreme. |

Sheps typed (again, I'll be done for copywrite) what was on my mind and think you unfairly jumped on him. Once all the dust settles I think you'll agree mate. I'm not a massive fan of i-drive/nav, old version, (it's expensive & I don't rate the actual navigation) but would always select it as it's always useful to have in emergencies, looks good, is fitted well and yes it does HELP a resale. I've never stated it'll necessarily increase it's value but it will certainly help it sell quicker than a car without it. Whenever I'm looking for a used are I'll insist on leather and nav (then heated seats & xenons) and will ignore the rest to start off with. Think I've just repeated what I said on page one of this thread. Matt, I agree with you 100% about the panaramic roof, it's on the wife's X3 and it's brilliant (found the electric blind the other day).

Anything with less than 6 cylinders is pointless.

There's a thread on an E90 US forum right now about this - about a 50/50 split for and against i-drive so far... |

Auto boxes are for lazy people. No wonder this country is over run with obese people.
