i like the nav! definitely an improvement over the last version -- also better than BMW iDrive (though i DID like iDrive, unlike others) I had in my 335i.

Enjoy the ride.

The one thing I really love about the NAV is the ability to play the iPod through COMAND now. Ah yes, those gauges are a beautiful sight for sure.

2006 SL55 with 030 Performance Package
Congrats on the SL63

As a SL55 owner how do you like your SL63, How does the 55 Supercharded engine compare to the 63 engine

Bottom line do you like the SL63 alot more than the SL55?

Thanks,
