Some simple examples that I remember (there were a TON more): the G37 will superimpose traffic info on the map itself with colors to show traffic (like Yahoo maps does, for example). A lot more stuff is customizable. It shows brands of gas stations with little icons. Lots of stuff like that.
But yeah, as usual the driving experience in the BMW is better.  But that gap is shrinking each time around... The driving experience gap is a lot smaller than the gadget/navigation/price gap, that's for sure! |
WAIT! You're trying to tell me that the G35 NAV is better than BMW's? Are you serious? For one thing, the GUI sucked. Secondly, you couldn't even input information while the car was in motion. Highly irritating indeed! There was NOTHING great about the G35 NAV. The G37 NAV, however, has been greatly improved. I'm going to have to disagree about the driving experience gap as well. It's alot larger than you are willing to admit.
