How to fix My BMW not working
My BMW is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach bmw.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Force-close My BMW
Close the app fully, then open it again before you try the same screen. On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and swipe the My BMW card away. On Android, open Recents and swipe the app card away.
Switch networks and turn off VPN
Move between Wi-Fi and cellular data, then retry the action that failed; a captive portal or weak signal can block remote commands even when other apps load. If you use a VPN, turn it off in your phone settings and try once more.
Sign out of your BMW ID
Open Profile in the app and sign out, then sign back in with the same BMW ID. This refreshes the app's session and can clear a stuck vehicle list or a failed remote command.
Update or reinstall My BMW
Check the App Store or Google Play for an update; if none appears, delete the app and install it again. Sign back in with your BMW ID and check that your vehicle appears in the app. If it still fails, contact BMW support through the app or your dealer.
While My BMW is down: what to use instead
- Key fob Locking, unlocking and starting the car all work from the fob, so you can get moving without waiting on the app.
- In-car iDrive Navigation, climate timers and charging settings sit in the iDrive menus, which covers most of what you would have opened the phone for.
- Contactless bank card Public chargers that accept tap payment will start a session from your card instead of the in-app checkout.
- Dealer phone line Call your dealer's service desk for bookings and workshop questions while the app is unreachable.

What happens when My BMW goes down
My BMW is the US owner portal and app for BMW vehicles, used by owners and lessees to check vehicle status, trip data, charging or fuel levels, and service needs. An outage interrupts login and remote commands, and it can stall appointment booking, so a quick status check or preconditioning fails when you need it.
Sign-in trouble usually hits first: the app stalls at login or loads a blank garage screen. Vehicle status can then go stale, so range, tire pressure, lock state, and charge level stop updating while remote lock or climate commands time out. Booking a service slot and checking charging history can fail too, and the trouble is often partial: one owner gets in while another cannot, and remote commands may fail for one vehicle but work for the next. This page shows whether public user reports are above their usual level in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, so a local spike can look large even when the service works for most owners.

How we track My BMW
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for My BMW, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for My BMW, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. My BMW doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
