AMG nav system vs the BMW iDrive nav

I am going to Kerlan Jobe tomorrow to see if my back is operable. I thought it would be a good chance to check out the nav on the AMG. I get in start it up and back it up in the driveway so the GPS can see the sky. I push the button on the wheel.
ME: Enter destination
AMG: youre home state is California would you like to enter street or town name?
Me: Street
AMG: Say Street
Me: Park Terrace Drive.
AMG pick a line with the street.
Me One (one has the correct name)
AMG say street number.
Me: 6801.
AMG 6801 Park Terrace Drive Los Angeles California. Would you like to start navigation now or save?
Me Save
AMG Say Name
Me Kerland and Jobe.

Done. Now I thought that was pretty damn easy, I should check out my wifes BMW 08 335i system so I grab the key and back it out. and I push the button on the steering wheel:

Me: Enter destination
BMW What part of the destination would you like to enter Street or City name.
Me: Street Name
BMW Sorry Street name is not a valid street name.
Me Street!
BMW Voice command ended.
Me GOD Dammit press button again.
Me: Enter street name.
BMW would you like to say the state in which your street name is located?
Me: California
BMW: California is your home state would you like to enter another state or province?
me: NO JUST CALIFORNIA
BMW Voice command ended.
Me FU@ING A! Push button.
Me: Enter street name
BMW: Please say the street name
Me: Park Terrace Drive
BMW: Did you say HART-FART-RED? (on the screen is says Hartford)
me: NO
BMW: Please repeat to enter street name
ME :PARK TERRACE DRIVE!
BMW: HART-FART-RED is not in your home state.
Me NO NO NO PARK TERRACE DRIVE!!!!!!!!
BMW Voice Command ended

We are taking the AMG down to Kerlan and Jobe tomorrow.

To be fair. I did not read either book on the operation of the Nav system for
either system.

I read the manual, and it states that if you personalize the voice recognition to your voice, it's even better, but other people will have a hard time using it...
