The dials in the Honjest John Road Test are worse and different from either example in this thread. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/bmw/bmw-x3-f25
Has anyone actually seen UK spec dials without the Professional SatNav option? |
I agree. They make no mention of it in the brochure and this should be made clear. If you switch between the business satnav and the pro satnav and then compare the interior pictures on the configurator you can see it change but the flatter looking dials on the configurator still look better than the dials in honest john's review - his picture is a little blurred though.
I have to say I test drove a car with business advanced sat nav and didn't like the dials at all.
I think BMW are misrepresenting the car by not making this clear. I also don't see any pictures of the lesser dials in the main brochure so you could rightly expect the nicer looking dials regardless of the satnav package you select. I am only looking at the German PDF brochure here and I don't have the printed version in front of me, which would be clearer.
