Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system

Garmin Streetpilot 7200
Extensively modded Garmin Streetpilot 7200 on a E46 318 Sports Edition 2004.

7 inch touch-screen with rear-camera video input and mp3 player.

Now looking to change my car.... since the price has dropped so drastically. Looking for a 1-year or less 520.

Re: BMW Portable Naviagation system
