Apparently they rolled out the real time traffic updates to the following markets in June 07
Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Diego, San Francisco/Oakland, San Jose, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa and Washington DC.
However if the system in the 135i isn't Navteq and runs off the RDS(FM) traffic feed, then most major cities should have this already, especially if you have a TV station that provides real time traffic reporting. That is an indication that the FM traffic update is available, since that is what they typically use.

Regardless of MOST or I-Bus Nav based system, the TMC in all BMW's is done thru RDS traffic data; Navteq is just the mapping software. The 135i will not be the exemption in the USA as it is also used in Europe's 1 Series.
