First impression, is that the people who answer the BMW assist when you are in the car are very nice and seem to know their stuff.

As a follow up on the MyInfo/Google Maps thing, it seems they are pretty confused about this currently. The latest answer was that it hadn't been activated for the US yet.

A new weirdness was the BMW Assist people where surprised when they were able to transmit location information to my car. When I asked they said some 2008 cars aren't able to receive POI info. I asked if I had a new or old system - they said again that I am on the new system. So we'll see what that means.

No worries and congrats. You'll be pleased with your choice. It's a hoot.
