Re: Connected IDrive Question
How old is the car, and what options have you got? You need option code 6NR to do the clever stuff (BMW Apps). There is a 'BMW Connected' App, but I think it only fully works with 'Internet' enabled in the car. Certainly that is the case with the version for the Mini.
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

Re: Connected IDrive Question
I think you've found your limit then. I have the same capability, Door locks and find the car (as long as it's within 1500metres - BMW say over that is a matter of 'privacy' so don't permit longer range checks although I own the car), plus sending addresses etc.
You can always try the BMW Connected App and see if other functions comes up..
