Im still going back and forth about the COMAND. But I will most likely bite the bullet. I get lost too much.
I just wished it was DVD based!

I've been going back and forth on the topic even before the car went into production. I was gonna get it in the first place, but thought do i really need it and passed. AND then I want it cuz there are some place I don't know how to get to, and then cost a lot to retro fit one, and then want it again because it's cool that you can check the map and stuff, now i still want it. haha BUT probably after i get the other stuff first.

Yeah I hear you. I put a deposit for Steve for the Comand last year at this time but I backed out. But after thinking about and saving some more money, im saying what the hell, ima go for it. It looks sweet and its a functional mod and for 1500 installed its a bargain.

I still want to get zaino, but I hate ordering stuff online. I just bought one of them Japanese polymer wax and used it a couple time. Maybe I should've wash the car completely clean off the previous wax first cuz the wax although is good, but it doesn't last longer than couple washes.
anywayz...i'm off to bed now. tired...don't know what the hell i'm writing.
btw, I think I did saw your pics lol. just forgot because I didn't reply on your thread. nice ride tho. somehow I always thought you have that black 320 w/ brabus rims.

If you want usability, go aftermarket for the Nav. The Comand is old and outdated. It's CD-based, it's slow, and it has lots of limitations. I get annoyed by it sometimes. The ONLY advantage it has over aftermarket ones is #1, it sits flush, and #2, it integrates with your steering wheel buttons.

Trust me, Zaino is good. I had a big fat bird poop on my hood last time. Got lazy and didn't clean it until 3 weeks later (kill me). The thing just slid off with some water. If I didn't have Zaino on there, the thing would've been caked on permanently.
