What data is transmitted to bmwna?

HermesRider · 03-11-2009, 11:42 PM

Recently got a call from BMW to schedule service. They said I needed cscope. Routine. But what surprised me was when she said I needed washer fluid (I did), and I didn't always wear my seat belt! So my question is, what all data is sent to bmwna when the car autosends?

thats scary...

blue2fire · 03-11-2009, 11:47 PM

Probably all Error Codes that the car is sounding routinely. They most probably have a log.

noro · 03-11-2009, 11:47 PM

I am sure they have the video of you boning that transvestite in your back seat.

i think i read this before in another thread about speed.......someone said it wouldnt be suprising if they monitor your speed and one day u get a ticket for doing 120 on the highway lol.. scary shit man, i didnt worry about all this stuff with my g35.

Wish they'd send me a copy. I couldn't hold a camera myself while giving a reach around

So tell me this, do you have the assist feature? Or did they find all this out from your key fob?

They seemed to have called him because he was obviously too busy making films to have paid a visit to the dealer

.

HermesRider · 03-11-2009, 11:56 PM

I told them I was pissed that they couldn't distinguish between my seat belt and my passenger's

I have BMW assist. It just took me by surprise. They called me out of the blue telling me to wear my seatbelt and get some wiper fluid and all that. I was like WTF? I looked at the idrive and saw it had transmitted data about an hour before.

they know a lot more than you think.

shadowcoder · 03-12-2009, 02:36 AM

You should have asked them whether they knew what color underwear you're wearing

sofaonasock · 03-12-2009, 02:50 AM

Oh boy... Did we sign up for this using BMW Assist?

it doesn't matter if you have bmw assist or not, a lot of information is sent back to BMWNA and BMW HQ in Germany.

eazydoezit · 03-12-2009, 03:27 AM

This should be illegal!

John 070 · 03-12-2009, 04:39 AM

I think when you have Assist, virtually everything except a DNA sample is uploaded, to include weight, height, eye color, shoe size, arm length (I changed my tilt/telescope wheel and BMW Assist generated an email to the Men's Warehouse with the updated measurements for arm length).....

Where in idrive?

Not worried about seatbelt (always wear) or washer fluid (always full) but I am worried about some other data.

In service info screen. I know a lot of people are worried about some data like boost logs so I'm trying to figure out if anyone has inside knowledge of what is transmitted. I'm not worried myself since I'm stock
