If you have premium connectivity (i.e early premium interior) then you see lots of little red lines on roads, indicating the traffic and you also get satellite view.
If you don't have this, like me (wife does as she got M3 when is was a simpler world), then you do not see the live traffic (that's the little red lines) or Satellite view, however, it has always been case, and still is that traffic is taken into account no matter when or what model you have.
