The nav is terrible. Is your mate sure he wants it?

Seriously, other than having a larger screen it is completely shown up by a £100 Tom Tom or Garmin.

It only has a larger screen if it's the ProNav, BusinessNav has the smaller screen and doesn't show maps. I never understood why they even made a BusinessNav version, its only slightly cheaper than Pro and loses most of the functionality.

The factory nav system is absolutely dire and although I have it in my X5, I still use a Tom Tom and a friend with an E60 with the nav uses his navi on his phone which is still better.
Forget the BMW system, its useless.

You would need a complete new dash binacle...
Really not worth doing.

Buy a car with it in the first place.

I use my pro nav every day. Sure it's now 5.5 years out of date and te latest three series has a really good version likewise the LCI three series with the added Hard Drive and google maps etc.
