Another thing you may or may not know is that with the map on resolution of 5 miles or more, the traffic reports show up as yellow highlights on the appropriate spots on the map. Pretty neat.

Also one other thing, maybe new or not on 09, but keep pressing the phone button the steering wheel, and you get a list of last dialed numbers... very handy and you can scroll them with the wheel. Nice. There's all kinds of surprises as you fiddle around with the 09 iDrive...

Yeah you're right you don't need the concierge for the RTTI. That's part of the NAVI deal.

There are a lot of neat little trick with this new system. I've gotten so accustomed to the previous generation, I'm finding it more difficult to learn this one as efficient as I learned the previous one! I guess I need to...
