3. Setting Up Your Xtreme+ Connectivity in Your BMW

BMW Personal eSIM with Xtreme+ gives your compatible BMW its own mobile data connection, separate from your phone hotspot. It helps enable onboard connectivity, in-car Wi-Fi, browsing, streaming, and sharing data with other devices through your BMW.

No. A phone hotspot uses your mobile phone’s battery, signal, and data plan. BMW Personal eSIM is designed to give your compatible BMW its own onboard data connection, so passengers can connect through the car instead of relying on your phone hotspot.

You can check compatibility using the Check Your Eligibility option on this page. You will need an eSIM-compatible BMW in a supported market to use Xtreme+ onboard connectivity.

Before starting, make sure you have:

• A compatible BMW with Personal eSIM support
• The My BMW App installed on your phone
• Your BMW ID login details
• A valid email address
• An Xtreme+ account and selected data plan

For a smoother setup, use the same email address that you use for your My BMW App account.

Start in the My BMW App. Go to your profile, select Personal eSIM, choose your country, then select Mobile data only - Xtreme as your mobile network provider.

Your Xtreme+ account links your selected data plan to your BMW ID. After choosing Xtreme+ in the My BMW App, you will be redirected to the Xtreme+ account page to complete registration, select your recurring data plan, check out, and verify your email address.

Using the same email address helps complete the linking process between your BMW ID and your Xtreme+ eSIM profile. This helps ensure the service connects correctly to your BMW.

Once your email address is verified, your Xtreme+ eSIM profile is linked to your BMW ID. You can then return to the My BMW App and check your eSIM profile status.

Inside your vehicle, go to the profile icon on the iDrive screen, select Add BMW ID, choose your preferred login method, and follow the on-screen instructions. Your Xtreme+ connectivity should then activate automatically in your BMW.
