Not sure in the States. Here's a quote from the website of ITIS, the service provider in the UK:
"RDS-TMC is standard on all BMW vehicles sold with factory-installed satellite navigation systems. RDS-TMC is the only traffic information service to be featured as standard on BMW vehicles and will provide driver enhancement by allowing drivers to receive real-time and predictive traffic information from ITIS enabling them to avoid and re-route around traffic congestion on the strategic UK road network."
Lee Connolly , BMW Product Manager said:
"Following the introduction of RDS-TMC on the 7 series it was a logical development for BMW to standardise this important driver benefit across our entire range of vehicles. Satellite Navigation is a key requirement for many of our customers and with the added benefit of RDS-TMC drivers will be able to make informed routing decisions based upon prevailing traffic conditions. This could save them time and improve the quality of their journey and driving experience. "
It certainly has for me!!!!!
