compatible devices at home. Edit your shopping list, check the status of your

Amazon order or view the latest football results in your vehicle. Everything on-

the-go and without having to remove your hands from the steering wheel.

Simply say "Alexa" followed by your voice command. You can now also

operate your smart home from your BMW by voice command.

Amazon Alexa vehicle integration is set up using the latest version of the My

BMW App, available to download at no cost from the Apple App Store or

Google Play Store. Please ensure you have the latest version of the My BMW

app installed on your smartphone for the latest features available.

BMW M Laptimer

The love of driving redefined for the race track. BMW M Laptimer helps you keep track of lap times, your current driving time or the distance travelled. After your drive you can easily evaluate your performance because BMW M Laptimer collects sensor data directly from your vehicle and processes it to provide you with information.


Your personal BMW driver profile: Scan the QR code and get started!

Have you already installed the new My BMW App? Then it is now even easier to create your personal driver profile: Go to "Add driver profile", select the "Log in via My BMW App" option and scan the QR code displayed with the My BMW App. Your air conditioning and navigation settings, such as your home address, recent and favourite destinations, and more are transferred to the vehicle quickly and securely. Create a profile for each vehicle user and enjoy: your personal settings such as seat position, exterior mirrors, preferred driver assistance settings and many more being saved automatically in your personal profile. If you link your profile to your vehicle key, you will even be personally greeted and be able to use your personal settings there and then, as soon as you open the vehicle.

Specific notes about this upgrade

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please remove all OBD diagnostic devices (trip

recorders, GPS trackers) you use when starting and during the upgrade.

It may take some time to reload ConnectedDrive apps after upgrading.

Only leave and lock your car once the countdown for the upgrade is

completed.

Some settings may have been reset following the upgrade (e.g.

Connected Music or notification settings) and must be reactivated.

Re-initialisation may cause occasional check control messages to appear

on the vehicle display or the My BMW App during or after an upgrade.

Please observe check control messages and note whether they are still

displayed after the first journey.

IMPORTANT NOTE for iOS users: when downloading the upgrade with

your smartphone, please connect via Bluetooth & WIFI in the vehicle

Mobile Devices menu. If the Bluetooth and/or WIFI button is greyed out,

please first activate Apps & Bluetooth Audio in the settings in the Mobile

Devices submenu.

IMPORTANT NOTE for M vehicles: The installation instructions for the

Remote Software Upgrade will only display after around 30-60 minutes

after having switched off the engine in order to give the engine the

necessary time to cool down. The instructions will only display before the

engine is started. Therefore, to install, please wait until you see the

installation instructions before you start the engine the next time you get

in your vehicle.

IMPORTANT NOTE for Drive Recorder users: After upgrading, initial

settings will be reset and recorded videos could be deleted.

For further information on how to complete the Remote Software

Upgrade in your vehicle, please refer to the YouTube BMW How-To

videos "How to start a Remote Software Upgrade" and "How to finish a

Remote Software Upgrade".


Specific notes for hybrid vehicles

If you carry out the Remote Software Upgrade while charging, the charging process will stop and not continue automatically.

Charging and air-conditioning settings may be reset after the Remote Software Upgrade (e.g. settings for charging at 6A instead of 16A). Please therefore re-enter your preferences in the corresponding menus under Settings after the upgrade finishes.
