iDrive Voice recognition lag?

I have seen some videos on YouTube of the voice recognition with iDrive on some 3 series cars. One thing I noticed, is that while the recognition seemed to be very accurate, there seems to be around a 5 second lag before the iDrive actually repeats back the command and then executes it. However, if you watch the iDrive screen the command is shown almost immediately (in other words, the iDrive has correctly interpreted the command).

So I am curious if anyone with iDrive on the 2008 1 series have the same experience? Does the iDrive take a while to execute the command or is it almost immediate?

The second question is, if this lag that I have seen in the videos is perhaps a configurable setting by the driver? It just seems odd that the commands are recognized quickly but not acted on for several seconds after recognition.

Thanks for any insight.

PS My 135i is on order, I am very excited.

It's not immediate. There is a lag. Sometimes it's 2 or 3 seconds, sometimes it's longer.

Can you chain commands together? Like change it to this station and call home and show me the map?

I haven't tried chaining commands, but I would doubt it. The voice recognition is already dicey when issuing single commands.
