Estimated arrival time on my wifes Lexus is great since you tell the car how fast you drive above the speed limit on different types of roads. It then adjusts the time from that based on the roads you travel. It is sick and works great! I love her Navi so mush I could not spend the 2g's on something less. BWM should look to Alpine and use there stuff same which is on the Acura which is even better then Lexus.

The BMW calculates it based on how you are driving in the current conditions.
This seems to be a bit more accurate. For example if your route is all NJ Turnpike and you calculate yourself at say 70mph for that type of highway, and you suddenly hit "congestion" it would be automatically calculated in the E90.
My old Acura did this as well saying "time left", but not actual time of arrival (for example 9:30pm).
The text search, I agree is a problem, but if you put in the area you are in and then do say "fast food" under categories you'll eventually come across the infamous "White Castle" or whatever you are looking for.
