How do I reset vehicle data in my BMW?

All individual settings can be reset to the factory settings when the drive-ready state is switched off. Data can only be deleted while the vehicle is stationary. The vehicle key must be in the vehicle.

 

Perform the following to reset the vehicle to factory settings:

 

For Operating System 9:

  1. Apps menu
  2. "Vehicle"
  3. "System settings"
  4. "Reset vehicle data"
  5. "Reset"

 

For Operating System 8/8.5:

  1. Apps menu
  2. "Vehicle"
  3. "System settings"
  4. "Reset vehicle data"
  5. "Reset vehicle data"

 

For Operating System 7:

  1. "CAR"
  2. "Settings"
  3. "General settings"
  4. "Reset vehicle data"
  5. "Reset vehicle data"

If the synchronization of settings has been enabled for a BMW ID in the vehicle, the personal settings are kept in the BMW Cloud.
