My BMW for iPhone

Quick summary

My BMW App is a free iPhone application developed by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG to help BMW owners manage their vehicles and plan journeys. It combines vehicle monitoring, remote control, route guidance and electric-vehicle tools into a single mobile interface so owners can handle everyday driving and charging tasks more efficiently.

Core capabilities

• View up-to-the-minute vehicle information (fuel/charge level, lock status, etc.).
• Operate vehicle functions from afar (lock/unlock, lights, climate preconditioning).
• Plan trips using built-in maps and routing tools.
• Access electric-vehicle features for charging management and range optimization.
• Redeem and manage BMW Points tied to your account.
• Read BMW-related stories, updates and exclusive content.
• Book and track required maintenance or other service needs.

Common tasks you can perform

• Book and monitor required vehicle services.
• Browse exclusive news, features and BMW announcements.
• Manage and spend BMW Points earned through app activities.
• Control charging, view charge sessions and optimize EV range.
• Create routes, consult maps and plan multi-stop trips.

Electric vehicle support

The app includes dedicated tools for plug-in and battery-electric BMWs: schedule charging sessions, locate public chargers, monitor charge progress, and view range estimates. These features aim to simplify daily EV routines and reduce range anxiety.

News, content and account services

Beyond vehicle control, the app delivers curated BMW news, owner stories and product information. You can also manage subscription services, view contract details and handle ConnectedDrive-related tasks directly from the interface.

Compatibility and limitations

Function availability depends on your vehicle’s equipment level and whether you have an active BMW ConnectedDrive contract. The app is optimized for BMW models built from 2014 onwards; older vehicles may not support all features.
