And how can you comment it? How visible in E30 is display? How accurate it navigate? It is the only one BMW sat-nav which can be fitted in E30 and I like "clean" dash so I want to know is it worth to change Garmin for this.
Cheers,

Love it! Used to have a tomtom & the becker's just way better. Looks right in the dash, clear display, nav's fine - (as long as you're not someone who likes to be staring at a screen) audible instructions (mixed over whatever you're listening to, so you can hear em however loud your music is :twisted: ) are more important & safer than detailed maps anyway imho.

Sound quality as a CD player is great, it's really user friendly, easy to connect to your mp3 player (no ipod interface though, just aux-in on this model), erm... don't know what else to say really!

I've got another one that'll be going in my second car (when I get one) - that probably says enough. 8)

Almost certainly not... there are update CDs available from Becker though, or on certain might-be-less-than-legal common filesharing sites. :thumb:

Do you know about anyone who is selling the CD's with Gatso's and other friendly-equipment-on-the-side-of-the-road?
