Missing BMW Online apps

Hello, I just picked up a 2021 M340 but I noticed that I don't have the weather app or any other BMW online apps? Anyone else having this issue? Dealer and BMW genius said they don't see anything wrong?

I lost both weather app and news app after the recent 03/2021.50 Idrive update. Maybe that's the reason.

I had this as well with the latest iDrive update, here is what I had to do:

With the car on, press and hold the volume/power button in for 70+ seconds. It should reset a few times in that period.

The iDrive reboots, and the Apps begin to populate. Some will be still be missing. Before going into the apps page, when the highlighted section is on 'Installed Apps', press the 'Option' button on the iDrive controller and select the 'Update Apps and Services' option. My weather and news apps were then loaded (although the news didn't have data right away).

Hopefully this may work for you too.

That worked for me after few tries. Thank you!

Hello! Thanks a lot for the tip, for me it worked after a few tries

In fact, I find it terrible that Dealer and BMW genius said they don't see anything wrong. In my opinion, they should be responsible for the convenience of customers... Anyway, thank you, now I can use at least some applications in my car.

Best regards, Andersen
