Past owners can still access car data/remote control options from BMW Connected App!
I sold my M2 in 2016 but never got to remove it from my profile in the BMW Connected iOS app. Just now I happen to check the app, and I still have the M2 profile and am able to access it. The new owner may not know about it that who ever bought it from the dealership I sold it to.
It also gives me option to remote lock/unlock, flash headlights too under the remote app.
And it does show the current mileage, Fuel Level etc.
This is crazy! I will call BMW Connected and let them know. Seems like they don't have a way to automatically disable the profile from BMW connected app when the previous owner sold their cars.
Thought I would let you all know and please make sure to update with BMW connected app and make sure they disable the previous owners from accessing the info.
