It can give you driving directions (Or send you, if you have NAV in Europe, not sure about this).
You will be charged for those services in the US. First one is free.
In the US we also have BMW Concierge which can make flight/hotel/etc reservations for you

In addition to pushing the SOS button they also provide you with an 800 number for BMW concierge services. They may want to verify that you are the service owner but then are very good at making reservations and assisting with restaurants etc. E.G. tonight we were looking for a restaurant in Orange County. (NAVTechs DVD is quite hopeless for anything new or moved in the last 4 years) rather than calling 411 to get the number and conect us, we called the 800 number. The concierge was able to book a table and give us the address to program into the NAV. Now in Germany they can download the address to your car.

In Germany they do everything for you. No additional fee.
The look up phone numbers, make reservations, give you driving directions, etc. They can send the infos to your idrive, you can send infos to your car via the internet, etc....
