Now that my 530 xiT is on the boat from Bremerhaven to NY I realize that I should have gotten the Navigation system. Dealer says it is impossible to install it now. Is he correct?

You're better off cancelling this order and buying another one.

If memory serves me correct, part of the CR scoring is based on # of incidents reported.
Since we have Excellent Warranties and Free Service, unlike the Japanese.....We probably tend to take our cars in more often to complain as we do not feel afraid to complain...........
After all I think I can BITCH and SCREAM about my 545's Turn Signals and Seat Belt alarms!!!!!!!!!!!! after dishing out $65K of course.....
vs.
Your Honda / Toyota owner that are just happy to have cheap reliable transportation, who may live with some issues, we BMW Drivers take more seriouly.... hense the more frequent number of incidences reported...... maybe we want better products more than your average joe...
Ignore the penny pinching tightwads at CR and get on with our real lives.
8 years 3rd BMW and not one issue!!!!!! (other than accidental)

Just out of curiousity...
I thought all 5's come with NAV as stock standard??
Thats why we have the TV in the middle?
In Australia it's all standard, and you can't opt NOT to have it.
In America is it different? What happens when you select Navigation with your idrive?
