New E9x come with a DVD disc video manual?

I'll be picking up a E90 LCI.

I've seen at BMWUSA that there are many on-line videos describing how to use certain features of the car.

Will the car come with a DVD video disc as an instructional video to watch at home?

My last BMW, a MY99 E39, came with two - one on VHS and one on Audio Cassette (wow, does that date my last car or what!)

I just want to make sure that I get a DVD if it is supposed to be included with the car...

My '09 E93 didn't, so I doubt very much that an E90 will.

More lame cost cutting, I guess.

The E38 and E39 models both used to come with VHS manuals - I found them to be incredibly useful. I'm one of the rare folks who will actually read the paper manual cover to cover. But none of my "loved ones" ever will, but they will actually watch a video manual....

The only disc I got yesterday for my 09 335 sedan was a tire warranty interactive guide on CD ROM. Why would I want that?
