MyBMW app

arRod1981 · 09-14-2022, 12:34 PM

Y'all, I just got overly excited because I was finally able to get the app to show my actual vehicle color (Java Green). Since the car has been added to the app (late-June) it always showed it as white/gray.

However, when we did PCD in mid-July on my husband's Z Fold3 the app showed the actual color, but mine still didn't.

Even after numerous app updates it still showed white/gray on my app. So, today I decided to logout and then unistall the app. When I re-installed and logged back in, it finally decided to show the actual color.

Holy crap I never knew the bmw app did this -- I always thought they chose purple for everyones car background.

I get it now

You can change background color using Apps Settings

Yea, I saw that new feature as well.

Because my car was a special order color it showed as white/gray instead of green, and it always annoyed me. Especially when I added my husband as a secondary user and his app showed it as green.

it was there the setting for app theme, I changed mine and it didn't update now the option is gone.

EDIT: There was another update, its back now!

Wow did they just get rid of the wallpapered ones?

Powerful is just plain red now?

mikekay · 09-18-2022, 08:41 AM

Reinstalled, I might be good? Anyone else?

Blue87 · 09-18-2022, 11:59 AM

Sometimes the 50th anniversary background shows up and sometimes it doesn't. At least functionality is still there.

Not just you lol 50 years of M decided to show up again. It looks good when it's there.

mikekay · 09-18-2022, 10:20 PM

Ive just noticed a new feature and i can see the trips i have done in the car. Only the start and end points and how many miles and consumption (although it shows consumption in gallons per 100 miles).

RSnic · 09-23-2022, 06:15 AM

ColC ,

Would you elaborate on how to view this feature? What version of the app?

Thanks

My 45e shows as a percentage, and my '21 X3 showed as percentage as well.

mikekay · 09-23-2022, 11:02 PM

Weird I have no option I'd love % vs actual. Speaking of which I have to hit up a bowser soon lol

some folks aren't seeing the new Trips feature. it might be a regional thing or even a glitch. I first saw it on my iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 15.6 and MyBMW app 2.9.0 which was undated to 2.9.1 the following day. if/when you get it, it'll show on the home page
