Connected Drive / Apps - 2012 F13

Hi guys,

Coming from a non-idrive e90 im pretty clueless about connected drive, apps, internet in my new car. I see there are 2 options for connected drive when i log in online. One for £120 per annum & £210. I've also read certain features are discontinued in the older F13's.

Which services do you think I should i go for, if any?

My vin decoded below:

Thank you!

Hi I paid £120 and I have online use and can use the apps and remote services etc so I think that should be fine.

If you have a I phone download M laptimer.
Also are you aware that when u download the BMW connected drive app you can unlock/lock your car and flash the headlights from your phone and locate the car and most importantly send Nav addresses to the car from your phone.

Thanks a lot Dan

No i was not aware of the lock/unlock from my phone, i thought that was exclusively for the newer mercs! I shall give it a go

M laptimer looks very appealing, just need to find the right stretch of road to use it!!

No worries

I'll post up a 0-60 for you to beat

So handy just incase you lock the keys in the car somehow.

How accurate is the car locator part of the app i.e., will it get you to within a few yards?
Just now and again I forget where I've left it in a large car park and the finder would be very useful.
