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.
If it does not work

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.
