Step by step.
- 01
In the My BMW App, open Profile, 3rd Party Services and Personal eSIM.
- 02
Select Activate eSIM, choose the mobile provider, enter the mobile number and select Check with provider.
- 03
Complete the provider's enrollment and return to the car.
- 04
Sign into the 7 Series with the same BMW ID and wait for its eSIM profile to download automatically.
- 05
Open Apps, All apps, Personal Hotspot and Settings, then enable Internet access for mobile devices.
Important limits
- Wireless-provider eligibility and fees are separate from BMW ConnectedDrive service.
- The eSIM follows the BMW ID, so using a different in-car profile can prevent the intended personal connection.
- The hotspot must be enabled separately after the eSIM profile is installed.
Quick checks.
- ✓If downloading stalls, verify that the in-car BMW ID exactly matches the My BMW App account used during carrier enrollment.
- ✓If devices connect without data, turn on Internet access for mobile devices under Personal Hotspot settings.
- ✓If activation returns to the provider without completing, confirm the phone number and plan are eligible with that carrier.
