Base Steering Wheel Functionality?

I just ordered my E92 a couple of weeks ago, and added very few options (heated seats, rear parking assist, sports package)... what will the steering wheel look like as far as buttons? Thx!

Build an E92, click on Interior tab, change view to "dashboard" (i.e. click on the little blue steering wheel icon) and it should show you what the buttons look like.

When I do that it shows four buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, and four on the right. I believe the four on the right are basic stereo controls, but at least one of the buttons on the left has a phone on it (it's hard to see), and I don't have the bluetooth functionality, so I think the photo isn't accurate in that respect. I was wondering if someone who actually has one without the bluetooth functionality could tell me what's on their wheel.

Left side:
  • VOL +
  • VOL -
  • Voice command
  • Telephone

Right side:
  • Next entertainment source
  • Air recirculation
  • Change track/radio up
  • Change track/radio down

Cars with iDrive have two programmable buttons on the right instead of the first two listed.

So what do the voice command and telephone buttons do if I don't have those options (at least I think I don't)?

Sorry for the bump, but can someone tell us what the voice command and telephone button do on the steering wheel if you don't have those options?

Well that's kind of silly. I mean, they could make the phone one mute the stereo, and the voice one do something like turn it down a certain amount... but I guess people will see the buttons and at least think I'm cool. :-)
