How can I change the main user in a BMW with Operating System 8 in case of several users?

In BMW vehicles with Operating System 8, one main user and up to six co-users can log in with their BMW ID. The user who first adds the vehicle to their BMW ID is the main user. All other users are co-users. Only the main user can save a co-user as the new main user. To do this, log in to the vehicle with the BMW ID of the main user and select: "BMW ID" (top right profile icon) > "Change BMW IDs" > "Manage BMW IDs". Set one of the stored co-users as the new main user. All users involved will be notified of the change by e-mail.
