Where Does My BMW Store Vehicle and Trip Data?
Where the My BMW app keeps vehicle data and trip history on Android and iPhone devices. See the folder table below.
Last updated
My BMW centers on the BMW ID. Cars pair to the ID and report over cellular. The phone shows lock state, climate, trips, and service from that cloud. Local storage is login plus cache.
Same ID means same garage. Exact cache names vary by release, so folder hunts help little. Digital key features need wallet enrollment anew on the new phone where fitted. Keep the car online during swaps. Trips from dead zones upload late and appear after a delay, not instantly. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later.
Where My BMW stores this, by platform
/sdcard/Android/data/de.bmw.connected
Garage follows your BMW ID. Phone holds login and cache. Car reports over cellular to cloud. Match the ID email exactly on the new phone.
On My iPhone/My BMW (settings only, trips in cloud)
Cars live in the My BMW container plus cloud. Sign in to restore trips. Phone reinstall never touches car link or cloud service history.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move My BMW to a new phone?
Cars, trips, and service follow your BMW ID. Sign in on the new phone with the same login. The car links to the ID over cellular. Check the garage before wiping, since a second ID with a similar email shows empty and looks like loss.
Does My BMW back up my trips?
Yes, in the cloud account for the covered window. The phone holds login and map cache. Charging and fuel logs rebuild after sign in. Export service PDFs from the account for records, since the phone never holds the master copy.
