About this app

Get the best out of your rides by transforming your smartphone into a motorcycle tool using the BMW Motorrad Connected app.

Use our app to build dream routes out of waypoints or import routes as a GPX file. The impressions and data you gather on the way will automatically be saved under your rides.

Simply use Bluetooth to connect with your motorcycle—which is equipped with Connectivity and TFT—and establish a connection to your communication system, if present. No matter whether you select winding or direct routes, verbal announcements and arrow indications that are easily visible in the TFT ensure that our app and your motorcycle will safely get you to your destination. Thanks to operation on the handlebars, you not only have navigation, telephony and music right at hand, but you also get an overview of the most important riding or vehicle data at the same time.

Keep other riders updated on your tours by sharing your routes, riding data and photos in an instant—with friends on social media or Rever.

We are continuously refining our app for you. Stay tuned to discover the latest functions.

• The app is part of BMW Motorrad Connectivity and can only be used actively in combination with vehicles with a TFT display. The connection between smartphone, vehicle and communication system, if present, is established wirelessly via Bluetooth. Operation is possible using the multicontroller on the handlebars. To output music, telephony and navigation information, the use of the BMW Motorrad communication system is recommended.
• A mobile Internet connection is necessary to receive traffic data. This can result in costs in accordance with the contract between the customer and provider (such as roaming charges).
• Be aware that the functionality of your smartphone and the connection to the vehicle also depends on national requirements and conditions, and therefore cannot be guaranteed by BMW Motorrad at any time.
• The BMW Motorrad Connected app is displayed in the language configured in the smartphone. Please note that not all languages are supported.
• Continuous use of GPS localization in the background may lead to a reduced battery life.

The new icon is annoying, why wouldn't you just use the BMW logo. Additionally, random name changes of an app are also annoying. Additionally, there's no means to correct bad road data. There are several places I can't navigate to or around near here as it makes up roads that don't exist based on old logging roads/fire roads etc. that are not traversable, fenced/stoned off, or otherwise private property.

Update: App logs me out after a certain period of time. And its just long enough to forget the password. So create a new password, app stays logged in just long enough to forget new password, rinse, repeat. Seriously annoying It's decent. The core concepts work, although the details can be difficult to manage. It took me a while to figure out to set a location as a favorite (drop a pin with a long press and the click the small, gray star). BMW's response solved my issue with naming favorites.

I used to really enjoy this app. But the last couple of versions under the new "Make Life a Ride" branding have been very inconsistent with recording my rides. I never had an issue prior to the rebranding. But lately it seems like a roll of the dice as to whether it will record or not. It may start fine at the beginning, but stop after a fuel stop. Or like yesterday, not record the beginning but record from the fuel stop to home.
