About BimmerLink
READ AND CLEAR TROUBLE CODES
Diagnose your car as would otherwise be possible only by your Service Partner. In contrast to generic OBD apps that read emission related errors only, BimmerLink allows you to read and clear trouble codes from ALL control units in your car.
DISPLAY REALTIME SENSOR VALUES
BimmerLink provides a big selection of values like oil temperature or boost pressure. Keep an eye on all the important parameters of your car with a personalized dashboard.
EXHAUST FLAP REMOTE CONTROL*
Take control over the exhaust flap in your car and decide yourself, whether it should be closed or open.
ACTIVE SOUND DESIGN**
If you do not like the artificial engine sound generated in your car, just mute the Active Sound Design with BimmerLink.
SOUND TUNING***
The “Sound Tuning” option allows you to disable the “exhaust burble“ in cars equipped with the S55 engine (M2 Competition, M3, M4).
DPF REGENERATION****
BimmerLink allows you to check the current state of the diesel particulate filter in your car. Find out when the last regeneration took place or how much ash has accumulated in the filter and start a regeneration with the touch of a button.
CARPLAY ADD-ON*****
Enhance your driving experience with the CarPlay add-on for BimmerLink. Access your sensor values on your car's display for improved vehicle monitoring, all integrated seamlessly with CarPlay for ease of use.
BATTERY REGISTRATION
If you want to replace the battery in your car, this has to be registered in the engine control unit and BimmerLink allows you to do this yourself now.

BimmerLink allows you to activate the service mode for the electromechanical parking brake.
SERVICE RESET
Reset the service display in your car after carrying out maintenance work like a brake pad replacement or an engine oil change.

Did not work
I purchased this app to register a new battery installation and it did not work.
FrustOM
No aux battery support
I have a 2022 BMW X5 45e PEHV. It has two 12V batteries in the back. One 90Ah and one 50 Ah. I bought Bimmerlink so I could replace these batteries and register them with the car. You can do this with the larger battery but not the smaller auxiliary battery. Both batteries have Intelligent Battery Sensors but Bimmerlink doesn’t show anything related to the auxiliary battery. BMW mechanic wants over $100 to register this battery. If Bimmerlink can support the larger battery, why not the smaller?
