BMW App and MINI App now available in Singapore

A new generation app is now available to BMW and MINI customers in Singapore. The My BMW App and MINI App feature a new-look design, intuitive and simplified user experience, and new services to support individual electromobility.

The My BMW App and the MINI App are the new universal interfaces to BMW and MINI models. Both apps run on iOS and Android operating systems, and can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

The apps display information on the status of the vehicle and, depending on the equipment, allows functions to be activated remotely (e.g. to locate the vehicle, lock and unlock the doors). In addition, BMW owners are also able to monitor the vehicle surroundings via the Remote 3D View accessible through the My BMW App.

Destinations are also now made easy to find via the integrated search function and can be sent directly from the app to the vehicle's navigation system. It is also possible to transmit destinations from third-party apps. The map shows the current traffic situation, filling stations and charging stations, as well as parking options.

The My BMW App and MINI App also offers easy access to the BMW Group ecosystem. It can be used to contact BMW and MINI Service Partners directly, and customers can keep an eye on their vehicle's service requirements in the app. BMW and MINI Roadside Assistance can also be contacted via the app if there are any issues with the vehicle.

The app offers additional features for electrified BMW and MINI vehicles, including an improved overview of the electric range, charging status, and charging history. With the Charging Plan, customers can immediately see important information such as the start time and duration at one glance, and enable pre-conditioning (to cool the vehicle parked under the hot sun, for example) as well.

Customers are encouraged to make the switch early, before the current BMW Connected and MINI Connected apps cease operation from July 2021. Users who are already registered on the previous apps can use their existing login information, and they do not need to re-register themselves for signing in to the new My BMW App and MINI App.
