I have the choice of getting a 04M TL 6spd/no Navi or Auto with Navi. Don't know which one I should get. Dealership said that there is a 6 month wait for 6spd/navi. I think the interior looks so much nicer with the Navi....but I think the 6spd is a lot more fun to drive. Any thoughts? I was only able to talk the dealership down 500 off of sticker.

It really depends on if you need the Navi. Do you travel alot and need information on maps and directions often? I have decided against the Navi and ordered a 6MT in August. If I was a sales person constantly driving from one place to another on the road all the time the navi would be convenient, but for me its not worth the extra $2k. And I think you are wrong to want Navi just because it "looks" better? The non-navi dont look bad.

Thats a tuff choice. Let me give some advice. I had a similar dilema before I picked up my 6spd w/Nav. Buying a pre-owned 99 M3, wanted a stick and also Convertable. Dealer only had coupe with manual or Convertable with Auto. I chose the conv.,nice with the top down, but always missed the manual. GO FOR THE 6SPD!!! It didn`t feel sporty enough with the Auto!!!

If I had to choose, 6spd over Nav any day.

I drive in traffic every day, and would hate a 6MT. It would be great the 1/8 of the time I could really use it. I get away with the sportshift, but, of course, it is not the same. OTOH, I love the Navi and the voice command. Especially good with the XM as I can go to any channel I want. Use it a lot more than I thought I would. But that is me. Your mileage,as they say, may vary. The Nav's are now in short supply, if you look at some of the other threads. The dealer can probably get a premium on the Nav now. Maybe you can use that to your advantage to get more of a discount off a non-Nav car (even the 6MT). The extra price difference may make up your mind.
