About BMW Driver's Guide
The Driver’s Guide is a vehicle-specific* Owner's Manual for selected BMW models**.
When using this system for the first time, you require an Internet connection. After you enter the vehicle identification number (VIN), the Owner's Manual for your vehicle is downloaded and is subsequently available without an Internet connection. Multiple vehicles can be managed within the Driver’s Guide.
You can acquaint yourself with the features of your vehicle by reading the full Owner's Manual, searching by picture, or viewing the explanatory videos. The more familiar you are with your vehicle, the better control you will have on the road.
Depending on the vehicle, either all of the following content or a selection thereof will be available:
- The full Owner's Manual.
- Quick Reference.
- A search by topic.
- A search by picture to find features.
- Explanatory animations.
- Solutions to particular situations based on Quicklinks.
- Explanations of the warning and indicator lamps.
- Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ).
*Depending on the model and model year.
**The Driver’s Guide is available for:
- BMW 1 Series, partially as of model year 2012, fully as of 2015
- BMW 2 Series models
- BMW 3 Series, partially as of model year 2012, fully as of 2014

The app starts on my Samsung tablet, but then shows a black screen when I enter my VIN. This needs to be fixed, BMW!

You can't give something one star for not supporting your vehicle yet or at all! It is up to BMW to dedicate resources to upload such content and it takes time. You should only rate apps if they apply to you and your vehicle.

Unfortunately only one of my vehicles is covered. I have an E92 & E70. The E92 isn't covered. Was hopping for a single resource source for both of my vehicles.

Great concept, easy to use and read...makes it much easier to learn about the features in your car. Uses your VIN to ensure you get the right manual.

Excellent application for learning and understand vehicle! Well laid out & written with illustrations, hyperlinks, videos. BMW should be more active about sharing this application / info with dealers and buyers!

How much extra effort would it have taken BMW to go back past the 2012 model year with this app? I find it hard to believe that the company doesn't value customers whose vehicle warranties aren't even up yet.
