BimmerLink For BMW And MINI Customer Service

BimmerLink for BMW and MINI Positive Reviews

SatisfiedI have been a very frustrated Carly user for a few years now. All I really need from one of these ODB apps is fault identification, fault clearing, reports of same, and battery registration. Carly would not register the battery for my i3. And everything else it does has become more like a video game than a helpful diagnostic tool. BimmerLink does it all much more simply and easily than any other app I have found. Including a simple battery registration. I hope Bimmerlink keeps it simple and reliable. Anything in these apps that can be done to help diagnose faults in a car is good, if the app has features that get in the way of that, it is bad, and I don’t want to buy it. I’m troubleshooting cars, not app programming..Islander∢Version: 3.2

THE GREATEST BMW APPThe app is very easy to setup and use. It is a great compliment to BimmerCode. I have both apps and the both have different functions. BimmerLink is for clearing any fault codes and BimmerCode is to changing how my car functions like lights coming on and how doors and windows are locked. They both have there on vital functions and are both great app’s. I wasn’t able to see faults in BimmerCode so that’s where BimmerLink comes in handy. They both work with my ODB2 adapter VGate Pro Bluetooth 4.0. So I’ve got the best of both worlds with one adapter. Both apps can be setup for what you want to see of your most desired functions. BimmerLink thanks for a Great App!!!.KLUV 104.1 Shreveport LaVersion: 3.3

Registering Mini BatteryReplaced the battery on my 2013 Mini Cooper S After I replaced it, plugged in the supported adapter and the app connected flawlessly. Registering the battery took about 1 minute from connecting. Very user friendly, lots of options to tweak around. Make sure you check the website for supported vehicles and adapters that you have to acquire separately..Leibe97Version: 4.4

Pretty SolidThis is a pretty solid app for clearing codes, I use Carly as well and this one is much faster and smoother. Well worth the price Only one issue is all codes are in German, you will have to copy text and translate to English. I emailed the developer and there hopefully will be a English version sometime in the future. Pick up a Vgate WiFi gen 3 adapter off eBay to use this app and you’re good to go..MarkafellaVersion: 1.3

OutstandingThis is a must have for BMW owners. The list of what this can read with your OBD dongle is incredible. Frankly it gives too much information. BMWs are computers on wheels with multiple excuses, each one capable of tons of info. If you want basic info, you have that too. I believe there’s enough info picked up to keep you busy hunting down what it all means for months..Mod151Version: 2.0.1

Great appThis app does exactly what it should. It lets you clear errors, play with the exhaust flap and ASD, look at sensor values yes they are in Celsius and the like but I don’t mind. Maybe they will update it to Fahrenheit in the future. But I don’t mind. It’s super easy to use. And they updated to to English. So even better. All the people that gave it negative reviews cause some of it was in German are just crybabies..That guy 421Version: 2.0.1

Great App!This is a very useful app that can save you many dollars in dealer cost. Using it just to register a battery change can save you a couple hundred bucks if your willing to spend half an hour changing it yourself. Grab BimmerCode too for the ability to customize many of the features on your car..WsutliffVersion: 3.3

Incorrect readingsGenuinely love the app, it’s simple and sleek and easy to use but when it comes to reading the boost it seems to be off the correct chart by 15 PSI. I’m tuned at 20psi for now and I’ve used other apps and softwares to see which one is wrong and the rest all read around 20 but BimmerLink shows me averaging 30-35psi which would blow my motor and turbo since it can only handle max 26 at the moment. Couldn’t find a email to contact customer service about this..UaalexVersion: 4.0

LifesaverThis app saved me hard twice now. First, when I was replacing my 328i’s exhaust valve actuator and then replacing my rear brake pads since you need to retract the electronic parking break fully in order to push the caliper piston back without wrecking things. Definitely worth the purchase if you service your own vehicle.MojanowskiVersion: 4.3

Great Tools For BimmerI haven’t have no problems whatsoever with this amazing app. I love all the features and option that had been added lately. A scanner tool, service reset and coding… great app for half of what other is charging. Pay one time and never worry about yearly fee..Long h.Version: 4.3

10/10Heard a lot of negative and positive reviews from this app but the fact is that it is definitely worth the price. I am able to open the flaps on my 2013 E70 and it makes the car sound amazing. Also noticed that they provide US units like mph and Fahrenheit which is very useful..M-S-T24Version: 3.3

Bought to register a new 12 volt battery on my i3.Seemed a bit extreme to spend over $30 for the app but worked well to register the new battery and clear some error codes. Probably will download the Bimmercode app next..KallmoVersion: 4.4

M2CGreat product. I cleared several errors & was able to reset my check engine light after one of my charge pipes came off. Lots of cool features to program & you can monitor multiple parameters on your phone. My fav is the ASD “off” for my application..ZjldmdVersion: 4.4

Perfect for sensor and data monitoring. Worth every pennyI was looking for a good data logging and sensor monitoring app. This one hits on all levels. Perfect for what I needed plus a few extras included. Highly recommended. I run the app on iOS with MHD WiFi F series black adapter. No issues so far..WeatherAppUserVersion: 4.4

Worth every penny.App is great. Easy to use. Way easier than downloading sketchy software and lugging out a laptop. I have emailed the developers twice and both times heard back within a day. Hopefully they update with the ability to service the rear brake pads soon..Mangos86Version: 3.3

It worked like a charmI have to admit, I was very apprehensive using it after reading the reviews. I used it with the Veepak OBD and it connected right away. I registered the new battery for my 2017 X6. Simple enough and totally worth the money..SubeliteVersion: 4.5

A must have appI purchased this app mainly to register my new battery. I was also able to clear error codes that I didn’t know I had. Well worth the money. The dealership wanted $200 and local shop $140 just to register the battery..Norm’s FamilyVersion: 3.3

E93 Hardtop issues solvedI ran down my battery with the hardtop midway open. I was able to manually open and close, but not with the button. After resetting the CTM codes, the top works great! Money well spent..FourthaxisVersion: 4.4

Refund? Unable to connect iphoneI installed paid version on my iphone but was unable to connect to obd2. I had to install on Samsung tab and paid again. Any whay I can get a refund on iphone? I don’t see a contact for this request.Yanel1212Version: 3.3

Best Value based on what you can monitorI have loaded several of these OBD apps. So far in my opinion for my E70 X5 BMW this app has helped the most when it comes to seeing what is going on with all my sensors….R&D AdvisorVersion: 4.5

Need helpJust bought it and used it but it keeps giving me this message when I put my vlinker Bluetooth in the obd that the engine control unit does not respond but it lets me continue but doesn’t let me use all available functions? Am in need of a little guidance to work it.XXJaytheoneXxVersion: 4.5

Well put together but I don't read germanBuyer beware, the app seems like it's in English but to read any of the gauges or trouble codes, you must read german. 27 bucks to control my exhaust flap is not worth it to me. Update: The developers have now translated most app functions to English. I am keeping this at 3 stars due to lack of ability to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit or MPH and KPH..Phenom248Version: 2.0.1

Love this appMake sure to buy a quality OBD connector. I bought a cheap one and it kept disconnecting. After buying a quality one I have had no issues..TraebiceVersion: 4.4

OptionsShould have capability to modify the dashboard displays Like shorten or change the name of the display. Info about which displays work for certain vehicles would be nice. The DEF level does not work with this app, but works with the OBD Link app. So the data is there. It does have some pretty cool information..Opa OnlineVersion: 4.4

Great app when it worksIt looks like app hasn’t been updated to iOS12.1 or there’s a bug The app launches and just does a loader circle for an indefinite amount of time When it did however the more recent updates added English translations for a lot of the sensor read outs which made the app much more usable. Exhaust flap feature works wonders..CookiesownsVersion: 2.0.1

Extremely gratefulThis app saved me from paying the dealer $185 just to install and register my battery. And that is just the beginning. I’m sure I’ll save a lot more money in the future. Thank you Dev Team.Carty11354Version: 3.3

Saved me a costly trip to the dealerI do my own brake pad maintenance on my G82 m4. This app lets me retract the rear parking brakes, and also let me clear a bunch of codes from the brake by wire system detecting hydraulic fluid level changes in the caliper. Amazing!.@texasg82Version: 4.4

No way to contact the sellerI purchased this app under the impression my 2010 E60 is supported. As soon as I made the purchase and realized my mistake, I’ve been trying to get a refund for something i can’t even use..WaseemaburakiaVersion: 2.2.1

Use it every dayVerified BMW technician and use it all day everyday for resetting service lights and putting the electronic E-Brake into service position, if you work on BMW this is a must have tool.Nickname2120Version: 4.4

Way more basic than I hoped.Works ok. Just really bare bones on features. Cant save a car cant resume a session easily ie specific modules selected etc. Have to wait 10mins for it to scan dozens of modules the car doesn't have instead of remembering the VIN and what modules it has etc..FuqnuggetVersion: 4.4

Used to reset errors on 2 BMW’sEasy to use and reasonably priced. Fast too. Used the same ODB II WiFi adapter as for BimmerCode. Interesting to see which modules in each car has generated error codes and it was easy to clear them..TheZogVersion: 3.3

Great app for the priceUser friendly, great UI, the support is helpful. I would recommend buying this app for anyone looking for an easy to use diagnostic app for BMW..SoiloccoVersion: 4.4

Good for the priceIn my early usage, I can say it has its usefulness. However I did not see an option to monitor independent wheel speed sensors for diag. If i’m just missing that option then 5 stars for its usefulness.Greatwhite3737Version: 4.4

Really good!Seriously awesome for my 2012 f30 it shows every gauge missing from the car, it’s really nice to be able to see coolant temp totally worth $30.IknoeimleoVersion: 4.3

Great app, BUT!Overall great app, but it’s missing the parking brake retraction option. I mean come on for $30+ just the basics? Please consider adding this option thank you..Jackthreads fanVersion: 3.3

Better than ExpectedEasy navigation and simple options to export reports for errors and clear them..PatmarktaxVersion: 3.2

Power to the peopleThis app has saved me; time, money, energy, money, time, money, time and a bit more money..BorinkanoVersion: 4.4

Works great but oil change resetsEverything seems to work perfectly except oil change resets. Wish they had an update for that issue..ArtsyDadVersion: 4.4

Worth it!One battery change, and the Bimmerlink app and Veepeak adapter have paid for themselves! Battery registration function to the rescue!.10inchDILZNICKVersion: 4.4

AmazingBought both BimmerLink and BimmerCode and man all I got to say is this made my life so much easier, you can check for any fault codes on this app and even code in a new battery which is already a value ! Keep it up, hope to see more future updates and functions 😎.Timmyw.96Version: 4.0.1

Doesn’t do much at all.Just a boring app for the F02, maybe if you did some updates it would be worth the money..Koka16Version: 4.1.1

Very handyIt’s a really nice app, honestly it does much than my scanner for bmw. For what it can do and the fact you can register a new battery, 50$ is a fair price. Must have.NarsounVersion: 3.3

Easy to useApp price is a bit high. But This is great app to have some more info about your car I tried for my BMW X5 No need any challenging, just turned on Bluetooth and push connection bottom That’s all Notice: you can’t change anything in your car settings with this app only viewing performance. If you need to change settings go for BimmerCode app.BMMikeVersion: 3.3

Changing my ratingMy apologies I gave a bad rating taking it back. The app connected to my OBD after a few trial and error works perfect. Thank you support team. I recommend this to everyone..Ottawa 2011Version: 3.2

BimmerLink for BMW and MINI Negative Reviews

Weak app and they don’t stand behind it.*WARNING* BimmerLink incapable of keeping the exhaust flap in an open state. I purchased the BimmerLink app specifically to keep the exhaust flap open on my new 2020 X3 M40i without disconnecting wires or other crude methods. It bothers me to start up that nice car and see exhaust only coming out of the passenger side tail pipe. It makes the whole car seem fake and cheapens the overall appeal. I thought BimmerLink was an elegant solution to my problem. I was initially happy to see that flap finally open for the first time, but was VERY disappointed to see it revert to closed again. Then I realized that you have to open your iPhone, start BimmerLink, connect to the OBD device, select the flap control option and open the flap every time you get in the car. Really? I thought these supposedly smart guys who write BimmerCode would come up with something a LOT better than this weak app for that amount of money. Lots of fluff and no substance. Very disappointed in this app, and they keep your money!.JK.2011Version: 3.3

Connection errors and no descriptionWhile I generally give good reviews to Bimmercode, Bimmerlink is not the same league. So far, I needed it for two things, on a 2019 X3 and it basically didn’t do either. Register battery is the first, and it was always saying “connection error, tap screen again”. Finally, I tried it with the X3 running and it connected. Hit Register battery button, it asks if battery is the same, I click no, Register….and nothing. Simply shows percent charge and Ah setting. No mileage, no indication that battery is registered!! Terrible software. After changing the battery, I have a CEL. Run the “Permanent Errors” and it shows 2 in Motor Electronics. Press that and it gives two codes, no description or anything, just numbers. Very disappointed..PerryinvaVersion: 4.4

Do Not Recommend! Full of LiesI have a G80 M3 and I downloaded Bimmerlink for only one reason and it was to open the valves. I emailed Bimmerlink and they said the valve function works on the G80s so I said I’ll buy the app just for that. I have the enet cable which works perfectly fine with Bimmercode. Out of more than 30 tries (literally) and continuous troubleshooting Bimmerlink only connected once. I am not able to connect to the app at all after that one attempt. I even emailed Bimmerlink and no reply from them. By the way, that one time I did connect the valve function didn’t even work for my car. I felt deceived. I have opened a case with apple to refund my money. If apple doesn’t do it right then I’ll do a charge back. Not paying for something that doesn’t work..IviegatronVersion: 4.4

You are better off with BimmercodeBimmerlink, easy to use and have the configuration option that most people are looking for: turning off ASD, turning off popping noise and keep exhaust valves open or close. The problem? once you turn off your car, all those settings are reset. You have to do it again the next day, connect to the OBDII port, put your settings in the app and start the car. Pay 30$ for this? No. Bimmercode cost the same and settings are not rested every time you turn off the car.NicknamebyappleVersion: 4.3

Doesn’t work for meI paid for the app, it will not connect to my mg flasher Bluetooth WiFi I’ve tried uninstalling, reinstalling. Have sent a email with no reply back. Not to mention lost $40. Can someone from support reach out and fix this problem? I have no problems calling the bank again. They reversed it, I setup my new debit card to Apple Pay for y’all to take the $40 again but I still have no access. C’mon now this is robbery. I either want the app to work or my money back..IN54NE86Version: 4.4

Misleading support, no updatesWebsite says they support all MINI, i3, and i8 so you’d assume it supports the MINI Cooper SE - it does not. I emailed months ago asking about this and they said sorry, we’re working on it. I doubt they are sorry now that they have a $30+ sale and don’t have to refund on support it. Really frustrating situation since no updates are inbound and the app is next to useless for the vehicle..SototallycarlVersion: 4.4

Did nothing for me but waste my timeI bought the app and it did nothing, empty screen with no sensors to add, nowhere to be found. I contacted support and they acted quickly sending me this BETA app link to download which I did, the result was the same, no sensors to add so the app is EMPTY, nothing to measure for my 2004 BMW 5 Series. I will try to get a refund from Apple on this app as suggested by Bimmer technician. Wish me luck, I have my screenshots and emails to backup my complaint..Carlos.rVersion: 4.3

Exhaust Flap-Be WarnedI bought this to enable the exhaust flap to be open at all times. It does open via the app on demand, but you have to leave the OBD module on at all times and be connected to the app. Loose connection? Valve defaults to AUTO mode. I wasted $35 and still have to modify the valve. Other than that, the app doesn’t offer much outside of battery registration. To cost over $100 with a OBD module, it’s a total waste of money..Maynard423Version: 4.4

Better apps out thereThis app is sub par considering it was meant for BMWs. It gives you a lot of details about error codes and such but most of it is useless. The error codes are also in different codes then the standard ones used so you can’t even look them up. It doesn’t even have the ability to give you correct boost pressure. Spend your money else where. OBD fusion app is much less and has better layout..Blue M3Version: 3.0.1

PitaI can never get the app to link. Maybe one out of 50 attempts it links other than that it keeps saying it can’t connect to it and I check my Bluetooth and my device is disconnected. It’s like the app disconnects it so then it can’t connect to it it’s retarded..GnargnardinksVersion: 4.4

Doesnt even connect?I have used BM3 and Bimmercode with my ENET cable numerous times with no issues. But this app refuses to connect. I have to change the adapter between ENET modBMW ENET and mhd ENET after around 20 tries it usually connects using 1 of the 3 random adapters i select. Literally makes no sense. Bimmercode has 0 issues connecting but this app is terrible. Complete waste of money..JasaneelVersion: 4.4

Exhaust flap doesn’t refresh itselfCan you already update so I don’t have to keep going back to the app every 10 mins to keep exhaust flap open?! It shouldn’t be difficult to do this....Sf48sfVersion: 3.0

Total waste of MoneyApp will not connect if you have your phone connected to the car’s hands free or Apple car play. In fact the car will over ride the connection to the OBD transmitter. Also if you are buying this for exhaust flap control, the feature will timeout to default oem setting in about 15minutes. Save your money for something else, I wish I did..Michi8loveVersion: 1.3

ASDI have a 2015 425i Mperformance and I got this app to code my car. The only thing I can code is the exhaust flap open and close. The add feature is thee but nothing displayed. I waste 36$ misleading app..Stevenlb22Version: 1.2.7
