Thanks Jonathan! It's about time BMW started giving the US customers some of these features!

I think you have to have the hard drive based Navigation/I-Drive for it to work, which in the case of the E60 is 2010 model.

Jonathan, thanks for the post -- I didn't realize that any of these information features were available before reading your note. Really helpful.

Thanks Jonathan! Are you paying the $199 right now? Or will this cost $199 a year after 4 years?
