Important limits

  • Carrier availability and wireless-plan charges are outside BMW's control.
  • The eSIM is tied to the selected BMW ID, so another driver profile may not expose the same personal service.
  • Hotspot internet remains off until Internet access for mobile devices is enabled.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If no eSIM downloads, compare the active in-car BMW ID with the account used in the app and allow several minutes online.
  • ✓If the hotspot has no data, reopen its Settings page and verify internet access is switched on.
  • ✓If activation cannot pass the provider check, verify the number and eligible plan with the carrier.
