I just got a 2018 BMW 2 series and it's the best system I've personally used outside of a Tesla. It has a mobile connection so it can find POIs very quickly. It's surprised me many times when I've asked it to navigate somewhere.

I'm sure the recent crop of Audis and Mercedes are the same. The German brands seem to be finally getting on the voice assistant train with a "Hey Mercedes" or "Hey BMW" cue.

Your BMW is new, I have an old one, and the sofware updates made it worse actually. Tesla is making sure that the new processors are backward compatible (for example the new, v2.5 generation autopilot hardware fits in the v2.0 hardware, and doesn't increase the power usage substantially).

In return I'm a bit scared of buying a Tesla because I live in Europe and read quite bad stories about the service wait time here.
