The moral lesson of this story is simple:
If you don't opt for 609 - NAVIGATION PROFESSIONAL, then this 8 inch screen will be part of your default equipment.

If you're fine with the 8 inch screen, then okay great for you. If not, then pray that BMW has GPS Navigation map data for your country/territory and immediately ask for Option 609.

P.S.
Slightly off-topic

On another note, I'm surprised that a Sedan or Saloon car is called as a "Limousine" in the German language.

Any German speakers here are free to comment.
Limousine is the common word for a sedan in German.

Limousine is basically a car where the driver is separated from the passengers by a partition. Why the germans chose to use Limousine also for the regular sedans/saloons I don't know...

And the looooong limo's originating from the US is a "stretch limousine" AFAIK.
