Having nav wasn't an issue to me when shopping for a 911 and Cayman in the past, but finding a car without iDrive was pretty high on my list when looking for a used E82.

That being said, I have no idea what the pricing delta would be, so maybe you are right in that it won't be much of an issue.
I don't know, I'd take an iDrive car if all else is equal - it just slightly more convenient than using OBC stalk.
