Just bought an M4 - have a question about nav and traffic info

[imcpa]

I purchased my first M4 last month (2015, mineral grey with sunroof) and absolutely love it. I recently discovered these boards and have read lots of great info, but have a few questions.

I have my nav set to traffic flow map, but don't see any difference and get no traffic messages when I check. Did I read on another thread that I need to install the idrive update to fix this?

Many thanks.

You have to call BMW Assist and subscribe to real tome traffic. Pretty sure all 15 models included it for 3 years only. I forgot how much it was when I did this myself 3 months ago but somewhere between $60 & $100.

When you log on to the connected drive website with your account you will see what services are active and what can be ordered.

Thanks for the help. I have subscribed to real time traffic.
Interesting that I did not need that on my 2013 335i to have traffic info.
