need help renewing connected drive services

our 4 year warranty and connected drive subscriptions are up in two days, the BMW website is kinda confusing. Is "Advanced Real-Time Traffic Information" separate from "Bundle Connected Package"; each is 50 dollars for a year. I don't really need the traffic rerouting stuff because it actually messed me up a few times more than it's helped but I like the other stuff (the weather and remote services).

anyway my question is that is the connected drive bundle separate from the traffic info bundle or does one exist with all of it? If so I dont see one...

edit: also are there any deals/coupons for upgrading the connectedrive subscription?

The real time traffic info and connected drive are two separate services, when I renewed mine last year they were $50 each.

do you really find the rtti to be worthwhile? We went on a trip and on the way back, RTTI suggested a rerouting and so i took it, and it took us on all of these backroads and i have no idea if there was an accident on the interstate or not, all I know was that I was stressed out driving for 4 hours on the backroads of florida and mississippi and i came away disappointed. but than you for clearing up the difference between the two

Not anymore, it was reliable during the first three years of ownership but after starting to pay for it the service got really spotty, sometimes it would not even show traffic information for days. Connected drive is more useful imo because you can talk to the car and ask for navigation directions, but rest of the services are more of a gimmick.
