Car using Data??

I’ve been in my 18 X for a few months now. It has Apple car play and I use it a bit. It also has the connected Drive with weather etc. Does this use the phones Data?? Lately is seems I’m using a ton. Maybe coincidence
Or does the car have its own plan to get the weather etc.

BMW Connected Services is it's own thing. Separate subscription. If you have WiFi activated, that is a different story.

Car has its own SIM with data subscription for ConnectedDrive services. Not sure if Car Play adds on to mobile data usage as I don’t have that feature, but if you’re streaming music from phone via services like Spotify, etc., that might be adding up as well to your device data usage.
