Does the Traffic Information function work in the US? Does it work in Chicago? What type of information does it provide?

Are you talking about the new RTTI system that's available on the newer cars?
The following link will take you to the "Total Traffic Network" site which is the official site that Clear Channel Communications has for this service:
http://www.realtimetraffic.net/
I'm not sure it the answers all your questions (Chicago is listed on the coverage map) but it might help shed some light on the subject.
I'm actually looking forward to having it on my next E60 in the spring...

I wonder if Clear Channel uses the same traffic sensors that http://www.traffic.com uses?
Don't know about other cities but in the Pittsburgh area, the coverage is decent but is probably being expanded...

Sorry to re-direct the thread. My car was a March '04 build as well and is also up in April '07. Are you getting substantially the same car? SMG? Do you know what they do with the lease price if you extend for a year?
I would imagine if you extended the lease for another year, you'd be able to negotiate a lower payment but if you just extend it on a month-to-month basis, the payment usually stays the same. I'll probably go for the facelifted version so I may end up extending my lease for an extra month or so depending on if I do another Performance Center delivery.

It seems to me it should be easy to retrofit this - does anyone know of any plans to do so (e.g. 2006 MY cars)?
