These days we spend so much time on-the-go that our vehicles have become more of a mobile office and personal assistant than simply a vehicle to transport us around. That is why they have created the BMW Connected app which has been designed to provide you with a more efficient traveling experience and make your life much more comfortable.
The functions of this app include Share Estimated Time of Arrival, Last Mile Route, Remote Services, Time to Leave Notification, Personal Learned Destinations, and Send to Car. You can learn the details of each of these functions in the video below where the brand has provided a description and a demonstration of each.
The BMW Connected app has already been in the U.S. and it is accessible through seamless vehicle integration using a device such as an Apple Watch or an iPhone. Check out the video below and be sure to stop by Flemington BMW if you have any additional questions.
