BMW ID/driver profiles
Principle
In ConnectedDrive countries, the BMW ID is the personal login for all relevant offers for the BMW brand. The BMW ID can be used in the vehicle to store and activate personal vehicle settings. In non-ConnectedDrive countries, the personal vehicle settings can be stored in driver profiles.
General
The BMW ID must be registered once. A BMW ID can be registered via the BMW app, in the ConnectedDrive Portal or at the authorised Service Partner. A driver profile is created in the vehicle. If a vehicle is used by several people, each person can create their own BMW ID or driver profile in order to save their personal settings. If a BMW ID or a driver profile is activated, the settings stored therein are applied to the vehicle. Many of the settings that are stored for a BMW ID in the vehicle can be synchronised with the BMW Cloud. This makes these settings available in any vehicle where the same BMW ID is used to log in. The vehicle can store three BMW IDs or three driver profiles.
Activation of a BMW ID or a driver profile can already take place when unlocking. For this purpose, driver recognition via a vehicle key or a digital key must be assigned to the BMW ID or the driver profile. If no BMW ID or driver profile is activated when the vehicle is unlocked, the vehicle is in the guest profile.
Operating requirements
When a BMW ID or driver profile is created, changed, deleted or edited, the vehicle must move no faster than at walking speed. The login in the vehicle with a BMW ID and synchronisation with the BMW Cloud is only possible when the vehicle has cellular network reception.
Welcome window
After unlocking the vehicle, a Welcome window is shown on the control display. The type of the welcome depends on the following prerequisite:
- The vehicle does not have a stored BMW ID or driver profile:
- The welcome is neutral. An option to add a BMW ID or create a driver profile is offered.
- The vehicle key or the digital key has not been assigned to a BMW ID or a driver profile:
- The welcome is neutral. The stored BMW IDs or the stored driver profiles are offered for selection. Additionally, it is possible to add a new BMW ID or create a new driver profile.
- A BMW ID or a driver profile has not been assigned to the vehicle key or the digital key :
- The welcome is personalised, the stored settings are activated. The BMW ID or the driver profile can be changed.
As soon as the drive-ready state is turned on or the control display is tapped outside of the welcome window, the welcome will be hidden.
Registering a BMW ID
The following steps must be carried out in order to use a BMW ID:

- Select the desired confirmation:
- Scan the displayed QR code with the BMW app.
- Enter the password of the BMW ID.
BMW app
If a BMW ID has been added to a vehicle, the vehicle is automatically added to the BMW app. This means that functions of the BMW app can be used for this vehicle. This requires the BMW app to be used with the same BMW ID. Alternatively, a vehicle can be added to the BMW app by the Authorised Service Partner. In this case, the BMW ID must then be confirmed on the controlled display of the corresponding vehicle. In rare cases, the use of BMW app functions for this vehicle may be restricted. A further note is shown on the control display.

- “Add driver profile”

“Transfer settings”

Main user
The main user is the person who first enters their BMW ID into the vehicle and the vehicle into the BMW app. Alternatively, the main user can be defined by the Service Partner.
The main user has access to the following settings, for example:
- Remove BMW IDs stored in the vehicle.
- Transfer the role of the main user to another BMW ID.
- Make vehicle-wide privacy settings.
- Creation of the digital master key.
Specify the driver detection
A driver detection and a PIN can be set up for a BMW ID or a driver profile.
Driver detection offers the following advantages:
- The BMW ID or the driver profile with the saved settings is automatically activated.
- The settings are not accessible to other persons.
The driver detection is specified immediately following the addition of the BMW ID or after creating the driver profile. Prior to the selection of the driver detection, a PIN must be created.
- “Set PIN”
The PIN can be used to activate the BMW ID or the driver profile, even if the assigned vehicle key or the assigned digital key is not available. - “Vehicle key”
The vehicle key that is recognised in the vehicle interior is assigned to the BMW ID or the driver profile. - “Digital Key”
The digital key that is recognised in the vehicle interior is assigned to the BMW ID or the driver profile.
Automatic driver recognition
If driver recognition has been defined, auto-matic activation of the BMW ID or driver profile is triggered by the following activities:
- By unlocking the vehicle using the assigned vehicle key button.
- By unlocking the vehicle using an outside door handle. The assigned vehicle key or the assigned digital key must be carried.
- By automatic unlocking when approaching the vehicle. The assigned vehicle key or the assigned digital key must be carried. Depending on the national-market version, it may not be possible to recognise the digital key.
If there are several vehicle keys or digital keys in the vicinity of the vehicle, the activation of the BMW ID or the driver profile takes place according to the following priority:
- The key that unlocks the vehicle triggers the activation of the assigned BMW ID or the assigned driver profile.
- The guest profile is activated when the vehicle is unlocked using a key that is not assigned to a BMW ID or driver profile.
- If a vehicle key and a digital key are detected at the same time, the digital key triggers the activation of the assigned BMW ID or the assigned driver profile.
- If another key is detected on the driver’s door after activating the BMW ID or the driver profile, the BMW ID or the driver profile of the last key detected is activated.
- If no BMW ID and no driver profile are assigned to this key, the guest profile is acti-vated.
Synchronisation of settings
If synchronisation is switched on, settings are continuously synchronised from the following areas, for example:
- BMW ID, e.g. profile picture.
- Navigation, e.g. last destinations, home address or map settings.
- Media, e.g. favourites or stored radio stations.
- iDrive, e.g. main menu configuration, language or units.

- Exterior lights, e.g. one-touch signalling and home lights.
Settings from the following areas are only synchronised when you log in for the first time:
- Seating and climate comfort, e.g. driver’s seat position or temperature setting.
- Privacy menu.
