Top Button: switch between telephone and audio
Bottom: Display on/off, which sounded like a good idea, but actually I never turn it off, so there you go...

When I had my 545i I had next audio source and mute.

Now that I have the M Button I only have one button which is set to mute on/off.

As I have only one button: close the ventilation. In Poland we still have some old trucks on the road so I use it quite often.
(funny I am the 1st one with this function)

Same here. I haven't pressed either of them in the last 6 months. There's nowhere near enough choice of what can be assigned to it (on a pre-LCI car at least).
