Step by step.
- 01
Open the My BMW App and select Profile, 3rd Party Services and Personal eSIM.
- 02
Choose Activate eSIM, select the provider, enter the mobile number and select Check with provider.
- 03
Finish the provider's instructions, then sign into the X7 with that same BMW ID.
- 04
Wait several minutes for the Personal eSIM profile to download automatically.
- 05
Open Apps, All apps, Personal Hotspot and Settings, then enable Internet access for mobile devices.
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.
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.
