But those cars were going for a premium. The cars with nav and the SMG were cheap, because no one wanted that gimmicky garbage.
Wasn't just because it was gimmicky, it was because both the BMW nav of that era and the SMG were unreliable garbage with enormous price tags to fix.
Built in GPS can be done well and hold up well to the test of time. On modern cars, often getting the GPS comes with other stuff that's convenient, such as larger displays for information. On top of that, OEM GPS makers have finally realized that you can get realtime traffic and updates and they don't have to cost an arm and a leg.
