When using this system for the first time, you require an Internet connection. After you enter the vehicle identification number (VIN), the Owner's Manual for your vehicle is downloaded and is subsequently available without an Internet connection. Multiple vehicles can be managed within the Driver’s Guide.
You can acquaint yourself with the features of your vehicle by reading the full Owner's Manual, searching by picture, or viewing the explanatory videos. The more familiar you are with your vehicle, the better control you will have on the road.
Depending on the vehicle, either all of the following content or a selection thereof will be available:
- The full Owner's Manual.

The ultimate experience
Siphco
Few experiences are as exciting as purchasing a new BMW. The service and convenience that Manhattan BMW provides makes the process seamless and rewarding
Pain to access
driverrn
Every time I want to look up something minor on my car I have to remember a login and enable cookies for a driving guide that is specific to my VIN. Why???
I3 not supported
fdldd
How lazy of BMW to not support the i3 and related models. Just as mediocrely as the rest of BMW support for this car. I should have bought a Tesla.
Very useful

This is an excellent way to not have to use the physical owners manual. However me being old school, I still prefer the physical copy as opposed to this even though I use this more.
This app is a MUST for BMW Owners
helloimevan
Excellent resource tool. Wish I could download the owners manual from the app to my computer, but other than that, it’s great.
No mention of check engine light
jpSQLDude
My check engine light is on. I searched for check engine light. There is no mention of it at all. Totally useless.
BMW Great customer service

I was so glad I was able to go online and get the exact manual for my 335IS without iDrive. It’s nice to be able to read the instructions of the professional radio and the onboard computer without seeing all the confusing part of the iDrive app.
