Key Features

Connect your phone to your vehicle through a compatible car adapter or via a Bluetooth + WiFi USB cable. Once connected, the app helps you complete many common vehicle-related tasks—so you can monitor systems and perform certain functions right from your device.

With BimmerLink for BMW and MINI, you can check component status (such as the DPF), read and clear error codes across control units, view real-time sensor readings, and use remote operations like exhaust flap control or muting simulated engine sounds. Overall, the app is built to make it simpler and faster to explore car information and manage vehicle tasks.

Read and Clear Trouble Codes

One of BimmerLink for BMW and MINI’s main strengths is its ability to read and clear trouble codes from the car’s control systems. That means you can diagnose issues faster and manage problems more accurately. Since the app connects to multiple control modules, it can provide information about defects and concerns related to emissions, the engine, and other systems. After identifying stored codes, you can delete them directly through the app—without visiting a service shop or garage.

Wide Range of Sensor Values

Besides diagnostics, the app displays a broad set of sensor data. On a single dashboard, you can see key parameters—such as oil temperature, boost pressure, and more—updated as real-time values. You can also customize what the dashboard shows by switching between additional data types, including speed, fuel level, and tire pressure. This helps you stay informed while driving and access the information you care about quickly.

DPF Status and Regeneration

BimmerLink for BMW and MINI also helps you monitor the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and start regeneration when required. The DPF is important for controlling soot and dust particles in diesel vehicles. The app can show details such as the date/time of the last regeneration and how much ash has built up in the filter. When you press the corresponding button in the app, you can initiate regeneration—reducing the chance of maintenance problems and exhaust-related malfunctions while helping the DPF continue to operate efficiently.

User Tips

• You can view a large variety of readings, including oil temperature and boost pressure.
• Use the app to control the exhaust flap and decide whether it should be open or closed.
• If you dislike the artificial engine sound, mute the Active Sound Design using the app.
• Monitor the diesel particulate filter’s current state to stay aware of regeneration needs.
