During the event, another highlight was the introduction of the BMW i-Remote app, which will be the first car application available on the Apple Watch. Reports indicate that BMW has already tested the new app in a secret lab at Apple.
Details about the BMW i-Remote App
The BMW i-Remote app was launched months ago for smartphones, requiring users to visit www.bmw-connecteddrive.com to register.
Users then need to add their vehicle to their account and activate the remote service.
Afterward, users should visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to install the BMW i-Remote app:
App Interface and Features
The main screen of the app—similar to the Apple Watch interface—displays the battery status and the remaining range or charging time.

Remote Control of the Car
Users can find all vehicle information within the app, such as whether the windows are open. The app allows users to control the car, including locking and unlocking doors, as well as heating and cooling the car remotely, which is particularly beneficial in our region.
Map Feature in the App
Another great feature of the app is the map that shows the actual range of the vehicle, eliminating the need for users to perform complex calculations to determine the vehicle's true range.
