I opted to not pay for Connected Drive in my new 428i which I pick up Wednesday!

What is everyone's thoughts on the pros and cons of connected drive. I want to know what I'm missing. I read that there is a Bmw App with connected drive that can control locking and unlocking doors / climate settings.

I have connected drive on my current car, the only thing I used was the Bluetooth audio for listening to music on my phone... Which was purely out of laziness (I had the y cable to use with my iPhone 4 but once I switched to an iPhone 5 it would screw up so I switched to Bluetooth... I could have used a USB cable, I could have just put the music on a USB stick)... Long story short, for my car that is currently on it's way to me, although I wanted a fully loaded car, they told me there was one that was just entering production when I was coming to order mine that had everything but the connected drive and I didn't hesitate to get it... Connected drive is really not a big deal in my opinion!
