On my 2012 X3, the map always shows traffic, etc through the red and yellow markings on the screen. Only once did the system surprise me by actually instructing me by voice that it was sending me by a different route
because there was traffic ahead. I have never experienced that again. It was while driving on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, NY. I have no idea what made the NAV instruct me. It has never done that where I live in NJ and I have been through many traffic jams. My 2013 MB E350 Cab does it all the time when I am using the NAV but I pay for Sirrius traffic in that car. It tells me on the fly that there is traffic ahead, what speed it is moving and depending on the situation, do I want to use a specific route that it recommends. That's fantastic. I wish I knew what made the X3 perform like the MB that one time. I must clarify that the colored markings are always showing on the BMW if there is traffic and that the voice instruction on the BMW happened when I was using the NAV for direction.
