Default Did the RNS-E upgrade today....it rocks
Ok, a few things:

1) Got the car back from the body shop after the unfortunate incident at 800 miles - sort of felt like you do when you find out your daughter isnt a virgin - so getting the RNS-E from Fedex the very next day made me feel like she had been to Thailand and got restrorative surgery

2) Over on Navplus.us there is a guy named Steve Diamond - TOP NOTCH, great guy to deal with

3) RNS-E totally changes the character of the interior
4) Sound quality from the RNS-E is much better than the Symphony II +
5) On my 2007 avant the whole install was completely plug and play, no adapter harness even needed.

Over all I am a happy camper...visually...wanna see?

Rick

Default RNS-E sucks.
I'm trying to persuade myself that I don't need it... It's not working :-(

Default I think the sound quality of the RNS-E is the reason I've been so happy w/ stock stereo.
Could use more bass, but honestly the rest of the speakers are better than expected.

Default Check with Steve Diamond (BMWZ1 over at navplus.us) he is a good guy...
It is worth the money, and you can find general price ranges over there.
