i have the navigation system on my 2002 bmw m3. that one, i believe, is dvd whereas the MINI uses cd. i read somewhere that using cd would mean you need to change a cd for each city, unlike the dvd which only uses one disc for the whole country. someone please correct me if i'm wrong. i personally think it's very useful if you travel alot. it beats reading a conventional map. one problem i noticed is that it often doesn't take you on the quickest route. for example, it may tell you to take smaller streets instead of the highway. it would still be very convenient if you were lost though. i don't use the navigation on my bmw very often. if you plan to travel alot with your MINI, you might want to consider it. otherwise, you might want to save your money.
