There is no question a few little "tweaks" will show up in the '07 model, but of all the little silly annoyances that the car has the only one I'd go out of my way to wait and pay a few extra bucks for a decent passenger seat. The rest are nothing more than nuisance issues ... and although I'd like to have them I'd not pay extra for them.
 
For my taste and having this car for almost a year there's more tech in it than needed ... I'm a low-tech guy who enjoys the driving experience but doesn't get as much enjoyment out of the high tech add-ons that ride around with me every day. Knowing they're there is one thing ... taking advantage of them is yet another.

Have you tried the Nav? It's amazingly easy to use. If you'd like some help getting started, let us know and we'll provide some tips.
 
Which other tech features are you talking about?

You're my kinda guy.
 
I generally go for only audio & suspension options. In the Asian world, those are part of packages that include all kinds of stuff I care less than nothing about. In the European world, it's more possible to pick and choose.
 
Either way, with an Asian choice, the junk you don't want is at least less likely to break and disable something you really care about. With the European (German) choice, failure is (arguably) more likely.
 
This is probably part of why most people driving vehicles in this group lease.
 
I prefer not to.

Pete ... I use the Nav regularly, and it's superb ... materially better than my wife's Lexus GX. It also has me driving taking orders from TWO women, not one! LOL The reverse video is also nothing less than sensational.

I agree with all above points
- The M's Nav is truly great
- MUCH Better than my former Lexus 430 NAV
- Love the Backup Monitor
- Hate the two voices (one would be fine thank you)

Now I'm confused. The first voice is our beloved M (My wife calls her Valerie). The second voice is our beloved back seat driver (respectively). What's the third voice?

The "other" female voice from the Nav system. There is the soft one that tells you what to do (she must be your "Valerie"); then there is the business-like one that reads the street name (you might call her "Vicky"--and I really hope that isn't your wife's name).

I thought that both nav voices were the same. You must have better ears than me (which is not that hard to do.)
 
We do get a laugh from time to time, however, when we mimic Vicky's cadence.

Pete ... The voices are so different that I wonder whether they've changed the programming later in the model year; I can't imagine mistaking them for one voice. I got my M the beginning of April, first release, and docnukem got his early as well. Is yours more recent/newer?
