Version 2.8 of the My BMW Remote app contains the same features and user interface as the previous version (version 2.7), plus an additional “Feedback” button included under the “Settings” menu. While only one feature has been added, version 2.8 is a mandatory download in order to continue to use the My BMW Remote app with a US vehicle. Version 2.8 is the first dedicated US version of the app to be offered. Therefore, previous versions of My BMW Remote, including versions from other markets, will soon no longer work with US vehicles.
