On the old (E60) DVD based Nav it was dead easy to add it, but on the new HDD models I'd imagine it's far far harder...

I dont use Satnav all the time, no. Probably on average a few times a month, maybe less. But when not in use it sits on the map screen showing where I am and also updating the map with live traffic info.

Is the erratic heater fan in my e36 a sign of the fsu/hedgehog thing failing? Its only like it for the first five minutes then behaves itself after that, I've also noticed the battery going flat after a few days where before it would last over a week easily, apparently it makes it come on with the ignition off 
I'd not even buy a £5k 2nd car as a run-around if it didn't have integrated Nav. Since I've had it in my last and current car (even if not the best implementations) I've come to realise that there really is no substitute for the convenience of having it all built in. As highlighted above, in the right car it really does make a difference come resale time, and so the cost to you really isn't the same as the capital outlay on day one.
As for bronze and brown/red... I can't imagine a car colour choice inspired by an autumn day is going to be in too much demand, so maybe the nav point is moot.
Bright/bold exterior colours need a black interior.
Grey/silver/black exterior in a sporty model needs ideally red leather but can make do with black. Trim should be silver or black.
Grey/silver/black in a less sporty trim interior can be cream/beige leather and wood trim (also works with dark blue exteriors).
Exceptions for supercars or making a statement.

Well, what a 'bright' display of originality here. Personally, I'm a photographer, brown/reds and autumn are most definitely the best season colorwise, these are 'warm' colors and they work really well together obviously.
Again, there /are/ discerning people with a bit more taste than the rest of the army or robots sticking to your stereotypes... Even on the second hand market.
Being lectured on my color sense by a british person is rather priceless

Don't forget the A1 Nath.
Serious? What car can you even buy for £5k with sat nav built in that is not 10 years old and up to date.
I can see why sat nav is 'expected' on a expensive car like a F10 etc and would probably be incredibly useful for people driving about everday for business. Personally I've stuck with a TomTom though hate sticking it to the windscreen (also refuses to stay stuck to the Mini's windscreen for more then 30 seconds
) so put it down near the cup holder/12v socket in such a position where I can see it at a glance.Yes, serious. My partner helped his sister buy her first car about a year ago and managed to pick up a decent 2.0T mk5 golf with nav, leather interior etc for less than that. Ideal 2nd car. Why would you settle for something with poverty spec?
We'd toyed with the idea of an ST220 as a 2nd car, and again, would hold out for one with Nav.

Really? I guess this is only for the latest systems? My e91 isn't going to be able to do that?

There is rather a big difference between colours in nature than those colours on cars.
The colour of a car can and does affect the resale value, where "unusual" colours reduce the value and increase sale times. the only exceptions are launch colours on halo models, such as the Phoenix yellow on the M3 and the Orange on the Focus ST.
My BMW Remote is the App and its on Android too.
I think I'll go with an M3. The money saved will pay for fuel
Although I'll be doing this on valentine's day (conincidence) so perhaps it should be spent on dinner with the gf
