Fully agree. We have been casually looking at a 2014 X5, built one on the BMW site and dropped by the dealer. If we special order we can get it without the Bluetooth, phone sync, internet, traffic info, apps, and so on. No nav either. It isn't the cost, it is just that we would rather have a car without them.

I had the 535 for four years. Never activated the phone in it for BMW services.

Back to Facebook.

I found this entertaining. If I used Facebook, I would send it to others via Facebook.
