By consulting these digital records or requesting access from the seller, buyers can gain insights into the car’s operational history directly from the manufacturer’s database.
Can I install apps on my BMW?
Yes. You can use all BMW ConnectedDrive services and apps relevant to driving, such as BMW Maps, Real Time Traffic Information or the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant in your BMW without restrictions, even without the My BMW App on your smartphone.

Pricing is based on the model and the number of features that the owner chooses to select.
