BMW Motorrad Connected
App Description :
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 plan your dream routes or import routes as a GPX file.
Thanks to the networking with your motorcycle, you can record all the relevant information about your ride if you want.
If your BMW motorcycle is equipped with a TFT display and Connectivity, simply connect to your motorcycle with Bluetooth to do this.
If your BMW motorcycle does not have a TFT display but does have a Multi-Controller and navigation preparation, then get the ConnectedRide Cradle and turn your smartphone into a motorcycle display.
No matter whether you choose the option of “fast” (direct route) or “curvy” (route with a lot of turns), you can always keep your route reliably in view thanks to voice announcements to your communication system and navigation instructions that are easy to see in the display. By using the intuitive Multi-Controller, you can control everything safely without having to take your hands off the handlebars.
Want to keep your friends up to date? Then easily share your riding data and photos on social media.
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 in combination with vehicles with a TFT display or ConnectedRide Cradle. The connection between smartphone, vehicle/cradle and—if present—communication system is established wirelessly via Bluetooth. It can be operated with the Multi-Controller 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 depend on national requirements and conditions, and therefore cannot be guaranteed by BMW Motorrad at all times.
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.

Much improved from 2023 but…
This app does a great job tracking detailed info about my rides, and I love that data. I’ve been using the app since 2021, and it’s gotten much less buggy over time. I don’t really use the navigation options because there are more robust options available but bike and ride tracking data are great. Ride recordings are usually automatic and include speed, lean angle, accel and decel G, ABS events, etc. Very cool.
There is one irritation still in the app – about once a month my authentication to the app expires and I have to re-log in. There’s no notification of this and the app won’t do anything (including local, non-cloud related things) until I log in. My only clue is that I’m 20 miles into a ride and notice the speed limit for the road I’m on isn’t displayed on my bike’s TFT in the white box like it usually is. And since I don’t notice this for a bit the first part of the ride isn’t tracked and is lost.
So I find a safe place to pull over, take off my gloves, unlock my phone, open the app and my password manager, log in to the Connected app, re-glove, and tracking resumes. If I’m in a group ride this isn’t feasible. It would be great if the app would still track and provide speed limit data to the bike pre-login, or don’t expire the login, or at least do a push notification to the user in the phone or bike when re-authentication is required. I suppose if this is my biggest complaint the app is pretty good.
Overall a great app but a little buggy
I have been enjoying the BMW connected ride with my F750GS for about a year now. The bike integration is fantastic, but there are a couple of bugs that need to be addressed:
– The real time speed limit is displayed in Km/h although I have set my preference to use Miles/h as the speed unit. A couple of releases back there was a different issue where the reported speed limit was one mile less than the actual limit! After fixing that issue, it is amazing to see a completely different issue affecting the same functionality!
– The percentage of fuel remaining occasionally gets “stuck” at a certain level and won’t reflect the true fuel remaining. Once the tank is topped again, it jumps back to 100% and continues to be accurate until it will get stuck at some random point and won’t go down anymore! In contrast, the estimated remaining mileage seems to work correctly and stay always in-sync with the bike.
Overall, the app is great and works quite well! Thank you!
