I think that the navigation is worth it. It's a $2100 option and you are getting the upgraged (more teched out) dash with an I-Drive screen and controller. It pretty much interfaces the whole car on that screen. Instead of screwing around trying to figure out what the little pictures in your instrument cluster mean while pressing the BC button on the turn signal, you get all the settings, messages and explanations on the idrive. The navigation itself includes real time traffic updates with alternate routes which isn't included in a lot of portable nav units. As for entertainment purposes, the new 328's all have i-pod and usb ports so all you need to do is plug in your music source and use the i-drive to scroll easily through your folders on the screen. If you also get the $350 HD radio option you are going to see detailed information about the current songs that are playing, its so cool. There are all kinds of settings for your car/key memory, climate control options, service due indicators and bluethooth phone options that are all brought together and made accessible with the I-drive. You will need to spend some time learning how to use it but I think its well worth it. Don't get the aftersales BMW naviagtion unit, all that is is a $500 overpriced Garmin unit that gets screwed to the dash. Do it right and get the I-drive up front. I ordered it on my 335i coupe.
