US Spec F10 in Germany. Is there hope for RTTI, Assist, google, etc???

So I'm in the military stationed in Germany and recently bought a 535i. I would love to at least get traffic info on the nav but since the radio freq are set to us standards it s not possible. Is there any way, setting on the drive to make the radio accept European stations and thus get RTTI? I mean in this age and era I would hope that such thing is at least feasible. The other thing I'm missing on is the whole BMW assist thing couple with BMW google map, but I'm sorta loosing hope on those, it's a shame to wait three more years to get back to the states to use these neat features.

I had extensive conversations with my local dealer on this issue. There is no way to get the US spec radio to accept the European stations. I am with you on missing out on the features ... I have accepted that I will never experience those features and the maintenance program.

Man that sure sucks,
I have the drifting to the right issue on my car. it went to the shop and the adjusted the struts but still has a drifting issue, not big but there nonetheless. Also I notice while driving on the autobahn to work during windy conditions that the car zig zags, feels detached from the road and every now and then goes side to side out of the blue.

I didnt have situations like that until after the 2nd appointment, the ride home from the dealer was pretty tough, parked it in the garage, went away for a week when I came back my street was tore up and couldnt get the car out of the garage.

I am going to be pretty upfront with them at this point, they need to fix it.
