'23 X1 owner here, sorry, X5 is too much for me at this time! LOL
Anyways, I'm in a similar situation with my new X1 and I am stationed in Italy, near Naples. The car was bought from an Italian dealer and went through customs but unfortunately it has ZERO of the BMW Apps and lacks Apple CarPlay activation. I've been reading through this forum about the same problem I'm having and I keep seeing to contact BMW DE, would that be the same for myself in Italy or is there a specific BMW IT? Or would I be somewhat successful by contacting BMW DE? Thank you in advance! |

I believe the X1 is only made in Germany right now, and him having a MY23 means it is the new U11 series with iDrive 8. |

Correct, X1's are being built in Germany, so this one has never been to the U.S. but has gone through the customs process and turned into a U.S. spec vehicle.
It is a U11 with iDrive 8. Italian dealers do not worry themselves with the details of the vehicle, just the $$$. Hell, just to have the local BMW shop look at my vehicle I have to make an appointment with them to discuss making a future appointment for service. They have to verify that I in fact own the car. |

I just got my CD squared away with BMWNA and got Apple CarPlay and all BMW apps working now! Success!!!
As for if I’d have gone through Italian dealer channels…likely months and then just giving up. It seems BMW learned their lesson previously because when I tried doing this with my 2022 it was not possible they said, but this time they have the eSIM in roaming so it’s easier. 👍 |

This thread is a great source, thanks. Anyone brought their X5 from Canada to Germany and needed to do all modifications like head & tail lights and fog light switch? I also heard about a communication module which needs to get replaced and/or radio for European frequencies?
I'm not importing it as a member of military so get no excemption for any European requirements I guess. |

So, I went through the whole process of contacting BMW NA Connected Drive services, and had my vehicle added to my CD account. Taking the advice in this thread, I drove across the border to France and viola! The apps started downloading and everything was working as intended (live news, traffic, remote camera, remote lock/unlock, everything).
However, once I drove back across the border to Germany, everything stopped working. The apps are there, but the apps like weather and news, and live traffic don't work anymore. Here's the kicker, I took another day trip to France and everything was working again! I'm back in Germany and now I have the (connection?) problems as before. Has anyone experienced this or know what the cause may be? |

I had the same issue in Germany with Roaming. It is allowed but not for everything. Moved to Italy and everything works all the time. I told others about how I did it. They is no need for German Connected Drive only USA connected drive. This will allow the vehicle to roam.

Not yet, german Connected Drive support team is very slow, they are now researching If my vehicle compatible with European network.
"We forwarded your request regarding the affiliation of your BMW to the European market directly to the responsible colleagues in the department. Since the research is very extensive, it will take some time to process it. We have informed our colleagues that the answer is still open and will of course inform you as soon as we have the result" |
