AFAIK, basic MDrive is controlled by buttons. It does NOT require the navigation system. When you have Nav, you gain control of the steering assist programs, as well. The BMW Press Release alludes to this "optionally available MDrive configuration" as distinct from basic MDrive. If I had time I'd look up where I read a more complete description, but go to go to work now.
