OK chaps, I can't quite get over the irony of me having the list of commands but no Voice, and you guys in the US have the Voice but no list, <_< but as requested by stl545 here's some scans from the manual

Thanks for that. I just rechecked the US owners manual from the Owners Circle website and there's nothing in there that explicitly mentions the voice commands.

It is a pretty funny bit of irony that you have all the commands but nowhere to use them, and we have the ability, but have to guess at what's available.

My knee-jerk reaction would be that BMWNA is at fault for not including it in the US version of the manual. Who's responsible for assembling the owner's manual packet for all the markets in which BMW sells their vehicles is anyone's guess, but I would assume that the regional distributor would have some say in the contents.

yes, you must be right! I guess If you called BMWNA they have to have a complete list?

I would expect BMWNA didn't include it in the manual because they had no idea if it would actually be working or not! This is called avoiding litigation.
