2) Sounds VASTLY better than the original head unit.
3) Added functionality such as CarPlay may be desirable.
4) If you DO NOT have DSP, the installation is pretty much direct drop in.

As a general rule, I'm not a fan of built in navigation, but the AVIN makes a lot of sense in the E53.

I went to great lengths to avoid nav in my E90, though. Can't stand that double hump dashboard.
