How do I delete a driver profile in my BMW?

A “Primary user” can remove any profile from the vehicle, whereas a “Secondary user” can only remove themselves. Please note that deleting a “Primary user” will trigger a factory reset of data.

 

BMW Operating System 9:

  1. To delete a driver profile, tap the driver profile icon or personal profile image on the status bar.
  2. "Settings"
  3. "Manage profiles"
  4. Select the icon for deleting the desired driver profile.

 

BMW Operating System 8 & 8.5:

  1. Tap the icon or personal picture in the status bar.
  2.  ▷ "Change BMW ID"
  3. ▷ "Change driver profile" 
  4. Tap the trash can icon of the desired BMW ID or the desired driver profile. 

Removing a BMW ID from the vehicle causes the vehicle to be removed from the BMW app. If the BMW ID has been synchronized with the BMW Cloud, the data stored in the BMW Cloud is retained after the BMW ID is deleted. If the currently active BMW ID is removed, the guest profile is activated. Removing a vehicle from the BMW app removes the corresponding BMW ID from the vehicle. If the BMW ID was synchronized with the BMW Cloud, the BMW ID data stored in the BMW Cloud will be retained. If the vehicle is removed from the primary user’s BMW app, it will also be removed from the other users’ BMW apps. The corresponding BMW IDs are removed from the vehicle. If the vehicle is reset to factory settings, the vehicle is removed from all users’ BMW apps and all BMW IDs are removed from the vehicle. 

 

BMW Operating System 7:

  1. "CAR"
  2. "Driver profiles"
  3. Tilt the Controller to the right.
    • As an alternative for Steps 1 to 3, the profile image can be tapped in the top status bar. 
  4. "Settings"
  5. "Remove driver profile"
  6. Select the desired driver profile.
  7. "Delete now"
