I'm glad I got this package because the nav is really high quality and so well integrated with iDrive but do not expect too much from ConnectedDrive yet if you have an iPhone. BMW ConnectedDrive works much better with Android right now although I am told that updates to iDrive will improve Apple integration. The apps are ok but text and email integration is not optimal and remember that your phone must be connected to the USB port to take advantage of any of this and that means either stashing it where you can't see it in the center console, putting it where you can see it but with a cable leading into the console, or buying a $250 snap-in adapter. Think about how you want to play music, too, if that is important to you (it is to me); the integrated hard drive is useful for this as you do not want to rely on Bluetooth for a music data connection as the output quality is awful. So, go for the tech package if the nav is an issue (it's a very good nav) and if you want options for music.
