Hello.
In my experience the voice dialing wasn't that intuitive in my 2010 E89 and required a little too much effort to sort out. Combined with the fact we use 2 phones in the car I never bothered.
What I did find was that I only dial a few numbers regularly when driving and when you press the dial button on the steering wheel the screen pops up and shows these numbers straight away. Very handy. Pressing the dial button twice is effectively last number redial.
As stated earlier, using Siri is far easier. And… When I looked at the M4 a couple of months ago I noticed it stated that "pressing and holding the dial button engages SIRI". So I'm hoping that this new feature is carried over into my new E89 in March, and perhaps is a software upgrade to the Media system ?
