Upgrade BMW Sat Nav

[danz007]

Hi all, excuse my ignorance as this is the first time I have posted anything or asked advice from any forum, but I have been driven to it by BMW.

I have recently brought a 2003 BMW 530d SE, it has the Business sat nav installed which I have found not to be the best, so I mailed BMW about upgrading the sat nav to professional. I received a mail back from Stratstone quoting £4117.71 including VAT and fitting, my jaw dropped to the floor whilst reading the mail, I only asked for an upgrade price, I didn't want the car rebuilt, you could buy 10 top of the range tom toms for that. Does this price seem a bit steep to anyone else, and do I have any other options around upgrading my sat nav,

Would really appreciate any help/advice you can give,

Cheers

Dan

I think even if you were to source the items second hand from the likes of fleabay, it would still cost you in the region of £1.5k not including the hassle of fitting it either.

Hi, thanks for your response, think I will just tolerate the big arrow pointing me round in that case

There may be ways to instal an aftermarket in dash sat nav into the car. If possible, you would get a better result than the BMW Prof system for less money.
