Some pics and questions

Found these pictures online:

I am not sure if it has been brought up before, but has anyone noticed that the navi screen is a little bit small especially for an SAV?

Although i would like it to be a little bit bigger, especially because it's an SAV as you've said, i don't mind it at all. It looks good and it's on the right place!

I don't think it looks bad at all. It's good.

I just wish it was a little bit bigger.

Maybe I have to see it in person.

In fact you brought up a really good question... Now when i look at it, in mine car the screen looks wider...

Eni?

In my opinion the photo shows the iDrive without the Navigation module! The E60 screen is also smaller when you don't choose the navigation!

without navigation

with navigation

The navi screen on our E320 is also pretty small, but the print is readable. I've never had any problems with it, even when I am operating it without my glasses.

Don't worry about it, BMW engineers aren't stupid.

You are right Ree. THat's probably an X5 without NAV. Therefore you don't need the split maps and what not, which takes up a lot of space.

I think for a car as expensive as the X5, NAV should be standard.

God, i love this interior. The shift knob, the parking thing, the I-drive knob, everything is perfect!!!
