Addition information. It's part of the BMW ConnectedDrive system and if I'm not mistaken, the "Traffic Camera Information" is a for cost add-on but only $25 for 15 months. I think you get 3 months free service after purchasing a new car. I just realized mine had expired and am going to add this service since it's definitely worth it at that price IMO.

Thanks for the info. I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the new tech. Need to look into the connected drive. I guess it’s another damn subscription thing.

No problem. As far as I know this feature is the only subscription based fee. The ConnectedDrive services should all be standard with your car/contract as it is with mine. If you go to your profile under "My Garage" you should be able to see all the items that are included with your purchase.

Stuff you probably have includes:

Concierge services
BMW teleservice
Automatic map update
Intelligent Personal Assistant
BMW digital key(?)
etc.

An after hour " My water just broke' call. My partner and I delivered a healthy baby girl at the clinic. I stayed behind to clean-up while everyone else were following the ambulance to the hospital. Feeling jet lagged but that's a part of my job that I enjoy. Seeing a new life first hand.

No but I REALLY wanted to drive the damn thing! I just met the dude so I didn't think he'd let a random stranger drive. I was surprised he even took me for a ride. Literally talked to the guy for a minute then asked if we could go for a spin. LOL

...because my i3 is back to being 100% operational again!

The new 12V aux battery is installed and registered, and I took it for a test drive to our town park to watch the F-22 Raptor Demo Team perform from a hill overlooking the NY Air Show.....

Ended the month/day selling another car. Bringing my total sales to 18 cars (hit two bonuses for the month).

Ohhh and I'm salesmen of the month! Finally, I've always been second place. This time I said f it and just went crazy. Didn't beat the top salesmen by much. Only sold 1 car more than him

I took 42 customers. Closing rate for this month 43% (18/42). Not bad for a rookie (only been in sales for 4 months).

Figured that out too

I've never held a job were I really cared about YTD. Plus, there's never been two different YTDs.

This is the first job were I actually care about the YTD since I've got future plans.

Today is a good day because...

I managed to replace the right halogen headlamp in my car in 5 minutes, and without leaving any skin behind. Not only that, I had to do it by feel!

Do you by chance work at a BMW dealer? I'm annoyed by the fuckers at my dealer both sales and service. Think it's time for me to make new friends at dealerships.
