Entertainment Free BMW NORTH AMERICA, LLC iPhone, iPad, iPod

Share the excitement of driving in tenths of a second and m/s². BMW M Laptimer* is a tool for analysing data on racetracks and automatically calculating lap times. The app records precise BMW sensor data directly from every BMW model fitted with BMW Apps†. You can analyze the data to increase your driving skill and precision. Or you can share a summary of your track day on Facebook and Twitter or email a recording of your laps to a friend and compare your track performance turn by turn.
 
BMW M Laptimer now integrates with GoPro cameras, enabling you to control a connected GoPro camera directly from your iDrive infotainment system. You can monitor the GoPro camera’s Wi-Fi signal strength, battery charge level and, while parked, validate the mounting position by seeing a live preview image. In addition to the video stored on the GoPro camera, a low-resolution version can be saved to the phone for synchronous playback with an aerial track view in the BMW M Laptimer app.

Reviews

Can’t use with my car.
Wow this is so sulky

I know this won’t apply to mit people, but I can’t use this with my M3. I have an 89 M3 and I was excited to use this app during the vintage Grand Prix at mid Ohio, but I found out that Texas needs an infotainment system made by bmw in it.


Buggy with iOS13

Please update the app to work more reliably with iOS 13; several of us driving at Watkins Glen this past weekend had very limited success recording laps with m Laptimer with a variety of devices (including iPhone 11 pro max, iPhone XS Max). This a great app when it’s working and would really like to see an update. Thanks.


Crashes on launch
SockRolid

iOS 13.2 beta 1. You need to update the app. Probably still using deprecated functions from older releases of iOS.


Losing data
Dudley346

I’m on iOS 13 and I lost my data. I want an application that I can use on my computer, Mac, to export the data and do more detailed analysis.


What a waste.

This app has no instructions or help documents. Better off using an egg timer.


Please add Hero7 support
dubbiez_

Please update the app to support the new GoPro cameras!


Does not connect to 2015 BMW M3 - F80

Since I have to write this in a tiny keyboard this will be truncated (thanks apple!!) Steps I have taken: I have used 4 different Apple lightning to USB connectors. I have updated the software from BMW.com/update. I have all of the required subscriptions (stupid to have to pay for a static free app). I have been to the dealership and stumped every “genius” there as well as BMW NA’s “geniuses”. I have decided my vin on several sites and the build sheet shows that I have ConnectedDrive enabled. I have deleted, re-downloaded, and re-re’d everything many times over. I have also emailed the laptimer support email with no response. I am using an iPhone 8+ with 11.4.1 and genuine Apple cables. All of this and no love. It seems like when you buy an m car with everything enabled and I need to go spend money an external app that’s going to offer similar functionality that should be free you guys need to up your game. I am frustrated with the lack of knowledge and support for this app and ConnectedDrive.


Please update this app
Apple Eddie

As of July 2018, I’m unable to play the sessions in anything other than map mode; none of the others has playability- please fix and update


Desperately needs an update

Useful little app, but needs some love.

Just tested this after it downloaded and it was pretty accurate. Helpful indeed!
