Just a quick question guys. Did any 5 series up 2003 come with a navigation package? Thing is that I am in the market but cannot find one with a navi package on autotrader.

Navi is not standard in any BMW. It is always an option. Even on the M5 & M6. Although to be honest, I have never seen an M5 without it. Shak. G 11-16-2006, 03:10 PM OK thanks. MunichMobile 11-16-2006, 06:06 PM The window sticker that came with mine showed it to be something like a $2600 add on. So I'd guess there were lots of people who decided to skip on that...especially if they were buying non-sport pkg cars. fv9 11-16-2006, 06:24 PM My wife wanted one in any used 540 I buy. I figured, why bother. I can get her a handheld unit and swap it between cars. They are getting very cheap. Vortec4800 11-16-2006, 06:27 PM Nope. It is an available option but was not standard. Navi is not standard in any BMW. It is always an option. Even on the M5 & M6. Although to be honest, I have never seen an M5 without it. I was always under the impression that even though it was an "option" you basically couldn't order an M5 without it. tukukito 11-16-2006, 06:37 PM If you can afford an M5 then another $2K is nothing... razahyde 11-16-2006, 06:54 PM i have a 98 which came with navi Qsilver7 11-16-2006, 08:39 PM Navi is not standard in any BMW. It is always an option. Even on the M5 & M6. Although to be honest, I have never seen an M5 without it. not true for the 7 series...navigation became standard equipment on the 2000/2001 e38 7 series...and is standard equip on all of the e65/e66 7 series as well. razahyde 11-16-2006, 09:23 PM yah i wanna say its standard on E39 M5 too BKphoto 11-16-2006, 09:40 PM 10 bucks for a good road atlas... razahyde 11-16-2006, 11:22 PM 10 bucks for a good road atlas... the road atlas doesnt have voice commands though. the atlas wont reroute you automatically either. and the road atlas wont look kooling sitting in your dash:D chiefwej 11-18-2006, 12:02 AM I installed a portable TomTom unit ($500) in my right front cupholder (finally found a use for those stupid things). The bonus is, I can unplug it and take it with me when I fly/rent a car. Can't do that w/ a $2k built-in unit. Sorry for the quality of the pict. but you can get the idea. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n176/chiefwej/cup%20holders/6.jpg fuddyduddy121 11-18-2006, 12:32 PM My 1999 has it. Navigation (http://users.rcn.com/tmintz/Copy%20of%203.jpg) CSBM5 11-18-2006, 12:47 PM yah i wanna say its standard on E39 M5 too It was standard on all E39 M5s sold in the US. loansinpa 11-18-2006, 01:07 PM my 02 had it but I ended up taking it out when I re-did the audio system. I put in a Pioneer N3 that still has nav and controls all the rest of the bells & whissles. Thread of install w/pics http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=636834 All in...about 4k.
