Nav system update (what a rip off)

$399.00 "WHAT A RIP OFF!"
I have just received the latest 'SPECIAL' from my BMW dealer, letting me know that I can update my Pro-Nav maps for the 'special' price of just A$399.00. In Australia, it does not even come with speed / radar or congestion warning.

You can buy the best model Garmin or TomTom that comes with all the bells and whistles on it plus lifetime updates and still get change for that.
BMW must really think we are stupid. 'IT IS JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE'
The real cost to produce the software and install it during a service would be less then $10.00 per vehicle. Even 'Kia' provides it owners free updates during the warrantee period.

Considering the cost to have Pro-Nav added in the first place (+1500.00) this should be provided as a freebie for the 6 year warranted life of the car.

I am so pissed off, I am now seriously considering moving to a different 'brand' of car for my next new car purchase.
