When there is no destination entered you will get green yellow and red lines showing traffic congestion.

When you have a dest entered into the navigation, you will receive on screen alerts for traffic/setting detours/etc. I also find that traffic data is more accurate when you have a destination active.

I use the gray map.. I find it easier to look at. Go to the map and push the iDrive controller to the right to get to the options section. You can change to gray map there. Other traffic options/views are available when you go to the map screen, then on the left menu bar click the "triangle !" logo, and you'll see traffic related info there.

Mercedes and Porsche use Sirius XM for traffic. I am pretty sure BMW does not, and instead uses connected drive. If you can see green lines, your getting traffic indications. Next time your in traffic take a look at the map.
