My BMW app updated to v1.1.0
Got an update to the "My BMW" app today, labelled as version 1.1.0.
This has introduced the previously "coming soon" Remote 3D View feature. I'm on IOS 14.0.1. The process flows through the three steps of waking the car, taking the pictures and downloading the pictures. Just the same as the Connected app at the moment, I'm just getting a field of grey. I'm waiting on 14.2 be be officially released to get the images back. |

Some other minor changes like a check status button. I don't think it was there before the update. And some things I don't know I they are new: A linkt to Drivers guide and WiFi hotspot is included in the app. |

Mine handn't updated but removing it and re-installing the My BMW app gave me 1.1.0 (I am UK based)
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.

I just noticed another change today, not sure if its this update or from before but...
If you change your profile photo in the My BMW App, it syncs it with the Driver profile photo in the car, so you are now no longer limited to the standard library of images that you get to pick for your driver profile in the iDrive, you can actually have your face greet you

Yup all works for me (UK) and remote view etc is fine albeit as slow and crap as it was in Connected. Also dont get why you have to have a poverty spec X5 in the image vs your actual car but meh not overly bothered. Took a few seconds for the 7 series to update to my actual X5 too in the app.

If haven't had the urge to deflate one of my tires to test it. Maybe someone wants to take one for the team? 😎 For a OTA software upgrade I presume it is similar. It will only show something when it is available. Edit i presumed wrong. There is a Q&A in the my Bmw app and it says it is not possible for now but it will be in the future. Until then they advise to use the CD app or the sim in the car it self to download the upgrade. |

For the "My BMW" Remote 3D View (when it starts working for me again), there's no option in the UI to see an earlier view, as there is in the Connected app. Bit of a significant omission.

I had the silver/incorrect rims in the old connected drive app as well until my car got updated to 07/2020.45. Both apps show now the correct rims and color. Funny thing is that I did not order the car with these rims, so does it work through tpms? Will the image change when I switch to winter rims?

Maybe it works with the tire choice in idrive? I entered my tire size. Still multiple options but the 742 would be the most common 22 inches on a m sport. Maybe you could change it in the tire pressure menu and see what happens? Keep us updated when you switch tires. |

The MyBmw App looks a lot slicker and modern than the connected app.
But damn what is that side scrolling anoying to get to certain features. Hope they redesign that part of the app to set as static buttons or something (preferable optional of course) |

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. |
