Yes, I see that. It lists earlier "Remote 3D View" events but it doesn't allow you to see what those views were.

By contrast, the Connected app has the "Gallery" and "Saved Views" where you can do what I'm saying is currently missing from the My BMW app.

And I can only see the current remote view and once I refresh it is just the new one. The older ones seem to be lost.
Oooh damn you are right. I tought I used to do it there but I might have been confused than I think.

Sorry!

I like how it says "keep an eye on your car" implying that you can see a live steam in real-time. Now that would be kinda cool

In Doug DeMuro tribute style, I've noticed a quirk (and feature?) of this version of the My BMW app, as opposed to the current Connected app.

In the new one, my car always appears to be facing northeast whereas the older app shows the correct direction of travel.

Its pretty close to the Connected app, looks better, and I would get rid of Connected, as I hate having too many apps on my phone when not necessary) if it wasn't for the lack of Remote Software update option in My BMW (unless i missed it in a sub menu somewhere ?)

Seems Connected App still has this option, even though it says no update available, but My BMW doesnt even have this I dont think.

Happy to be corrected.

Also Check Control option on Connected gives me Oil and Tyre Pressure check, but the My BMW app only offers Oil check .... not that I rely too heavily on this but just another thing missing from My BMW to fully switch over.
Changed the setting of tire pressure today because I have to inflate them tomorrow for the trip we are going to make the nexts weeks.

Because the pressure needs to be higher for a fully loaded car the current pressure before inflating is to low and it gives an error message on the My BMW app, also specific for each tire. In my case the pressure was low but apparently not dangerously low.

one thing useful about this new app, maybe the only thing, is that you can update your "work" and "home" addresses on the app, and it'll also update it on the vehicle, so you don't have to manually do it there. that's pretty cool.

And the same for favorites

Since a couple of weeks it also shows the route in the app. I don't think it did that before.

I think it is quite good now.

It's good but there's still a few things missing. Like I really liked on the previous app where you could just start typing a contact's name and if you had their address saved in your phone it would pull up their address. That doesn't yet work.

The workaround is to ask Siri to navigate to the contact and then share that location with the car to use the native navigation app to do the rest. A few extra steps that hopefully will be eliminated soon enough
