And, the routing wasn't great. However, many of the features in the BMW nav is much better than the Infiniti nav.

Of course, compared to my two Garmin units, I don't think any factory nav will compare. I think most "experts" will say the same for any factory nav out there.

The biggest gripe that I have though (similar to my Infiniti nav) is that the BMW nav screen doesn't display the name of the next street/exit that you will be turning on.
If I were to rate the BMW nav system, I'd give it a 4/10. The one in my cadillac seems to be one of the best I've seen. The screen in touch screen, can show music (ipod) selection on 1/2 screen and nav on the other. Entry is simple and fast as is searching for poi's. Lastly, the voice prompts and street names are so clear that make the BMW system look like a X386 computer compared to the cadillac which would be a new MACpro.. LOL!
