F80 Connectivity

[James_B]

I picked up my 16 plate M3 today, and although I'm hugely impressed with it I seem to have none of the connectivity or tech that my M2 had.

No 3D maps, no connection to the phone network, no ability to receive messages, it can't be connected to the BMW app etc.

I didn't think to ask about any of this, I'd assumed that it all came as standard on the car, is that not the case?

BMW did give me the concierge service free, but it's not much use if the car can't connect to it. It doesn't even appear in the menu.

Does anyone know if these services are compatible with the car, or how I get them?

I'd like to update the software too, but have no idea how to do that either.

Your car will have Pro Media as standard so should have the same full connectivity as your M2.

I suspect that no-one has enabled the Connected Drive account. Give them a ring

I will do, thanks. The store is asking me for £240 turn it on, so I'm not happy.

I've also realised why the windows were all cracked open when ai collected it, it's been owned by a smoker, which no-one bothered to mention.

I think, at this point, the large well-known chain of BMW dealers in London has lost my future custom.
