BimmerTech FZE Reviews 260

Excellent service, My BMW's combox needed to be replaced so i purchased a new combox and installed it after i ordered the combox activation and after i followed there pre coding session instructions and logged in it took roughly 30mins in total and after it was done everything worked perfectly

The USB drive for the mapping software came quickly and installing it was a breeze. Also have used the phone and chat service. Both we’re excellent.

I recently purchased two BMW codes for my 2016 X6, The codes came almost immediately even though I live in Australia.
The after sale support was over the top as I had an issue with the install, I emailed the support team and within 8 hrs I had the problem solved.
I would recommend Bimmertech to anybody that would like some upgrades to their BMW idrive system

Easy installation. Map upgrade worked well.

I carried out a lot of research before purchasing the MMI Prime car play unit. Although the cost is high compared with other units. However the cost in my opinion is justified. The build quality is excellent in aluminium and secured with screws. The connections and cables are superb. The installation took me just over an hour. Most of this was removing the car trim and dressing the cables etc. I would strongly recommend you watch the install video on you tube. Once installed the interface is flawless and sound Superb. To date it has been amazing with no issues whatsoever. Highly recommended and if you like good sound quality in you BM you will not be disappointed.

It is an understatement to say that the original audio system in my 2022 BMW X5 was disappointing. After reading a few reviews I decided to try and upgrade the system and install the BimmerTech Alpha One amplifier. What an impressive improvement! In my opinion, with the amplifier the sound of the factory hi fi speakers is 100% better and well worth the investment. I will install the subwoofers next and leave an update on system performance.

The BimmerTech videos and installation guide are a must. The service techs are available, responsive and very helpful in demystifying the installation.

A big thumb up for the Alpha One amplifier and support group. I am very satisfied and would highly recommend BimmerTech.

I have a BMW 320d M that is 9 years old and though it still looks modern from the outside, I was always annoyed that when BMW sold me this 80,000€ car, they couldn't (didn't want to) install the updated entertainment system. I have since stopped using BMW and have a trusted mechanic.
Recently, I was in the US and hired a new BMW and found the Apple Carplay great. I actually thought about exchanging my BMW for a new one until I found BimmerTech.
I got the NBT Evo retrofit with touch display. I was very hesitant at first because I know nothing about cars and am generally pretty terrible at alterations, leaving it to the pros. But I was so excited, I just went with it.
I am still surprised at how easy it was, how helpful the technicians were and how great it looks - I have a new BMW again.
I'm sure there might be cheaper alternatives but messing with my car, I wanted to know that the company had my back in case I screwed up. This is a service BMW should offer, but they don't in Portugal - probably because they know that people might just hang on to their older cars for longer. I defanately will.

I bought a 2013 BMW x5 and needed to update my navigation. Was super easy to go on website and order my update.. instructions were super easy and loved the ease of installation. Being a sheriffs deputy I am glad I found a reputable company. These guys are incredible and highly recommend doing your business with them. Thank you!!!

BimmerTech Map Update was simple, easy and the new maps look and work great!

Highly recommended!

I purchased the engine auto start stop and paid over $ 130.00 for the cable and the software changes. The change worked very well until a factory software update which cleared the programming change done by BimmerTech.

BimmerTech will not reinstall the software change unless I pay for it in FULL again and they state that the information provided states that the problem I experienced is identified in their information.

It is not and they are not and will not standing by their defective product.

Buyer beware.

We were looking to get Replacement FOBs for our MINI Coopers (we both drive them). We came across BimmerTech and were about to place an order.

Then we figured out that our local Mini Dealer (yes official full dealership) charges only $195 per fob. BimmerTech charges $299 (for our particular model).

So, we gave our business to our Mini dealer and the new fob worked perfectly and we saved $200 for two fobs!

Great and knowledgeable staff. They are quick to respond to emails when help is needed. BimmerTech has everything you’d need in your BMW. From retrofits to coding. You’ll need them all! They also provide loaded instructions with any item you order from their site, making it an easy diy. I’ve recently ordered a coding option which was a map update that completely changed the navigation on my I-Drive. Making it more accurate and and ascetically better! Thanks BimmerTech!

I recently purchased a BMW Apple CarPlay Cable Activation for my wife’s 2020 230xi convertible. The car did not come with factory equipped CarPlay or navigation. I researched to look for reasonably priced and compatible options. I am in the car business and have connections with local vendors, so I shopped around for options. The best pricing and option was a local aftermarket company that we do business with. They told me they could do a software upgrade to activate the CarPlay in my BMW. The said they would discount the pricing down to $899 plus tax from the normally priced $1199. I also put out a request for ideas on a local FB page MasaBMW. One of the group members recommended BimmerTech but said they were a bit pricy. So I looked on their website and found this Apple CarPlay activation for $399. It did also require coding cable and a Wi-Fi antenna purchase. All in the cost was $549 with no tax online. Albeit it did have to be installed but luckily I work with a tech savvy person that removed the radio to install the antenna and then programmed the software upgrade with a BimmerTech rep over the phone and internet. It was a relatively simple process and saved me $300-$600 versus the local aftermarket company option. Now that it is in it works seamlessly and I could not be happier. My my wife loves having her Navigation and other iPhone options on the radio unit. Thank BimmerTech for a great product solution and first class service

I’ve had my CarPlay MMI installed and running in my 2015 X6 for about a month now, and couldn’t be happier with it. Installation was really straightforward, and took about 2 hrs from start to finish. Any questions about the device were quickly and clearly answered before I bought it and when I was ready to install it. The PDF instructions and YouTube video for the installation were terrific. I recommend it highly!

The thing that made my experience great was how easy it was to get the right tool for my car. All you have to do is put your VIN in and the site shows you all the available options for your vehicle.

Great products, great support. Easy to install and use. Bimmer tech is amazing for any upgrades. Definitely a return buyer for my new X6 M

Site sells Overpriced items. You can find better alternatives that's half the price these guys sell for. No complaints about the technicians I worked with but forget about any returns, they will charge you a ridiculous 30% restocking fee.

Communication with customer service was excellent. I appreciated the fact that the key FOB came programmed and it worked perfectly. I highly recommend using this company.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH BIMMERTECH

Despite claims ,“fully integrated with the native iDrive display and controller, and feels and works like the OEM BMW Apple CarPlay”, deceptive comparisons that fail to mention MMI limitations, and a VIN checker that ensures compatibility the reality is…

Not Fully Integrated: Bimmertech MMI lacked integration with my car’s cameras and parking functionality which was a safety issue and practically made parking detection and assist unusable.
Glitchy:
Apps would often appear as blank which would only be resolved by rebooting the MMI.
Songs stopped after 30 seconds if running two apps then would restart from the beginning upon hitting play.
Horrible Support:
The installation documentation they sent was incorrect.
Their website videos were unavailable for several days due to a Youtube account violation.
“our technical support is always ready to help” -- except evenings or weekends and only by email.
Clueless. For example The “workaround” idea they provided regarding cameras was to use the car’s memory functions. As the presumed experts, they should have known that wouldn’t work. This merely resulted in more wasted time for me.
They simply don’t value your time and when they don’t know answers, they will essentially be having you perform field testing of their products for them.
Ridiculously Overpriced: Others have posted elsewhere about the price of the MMI versus others. Here are two other example indicators as to the degree Bimmertech is gouging customers:
The Panoramic Screen --- $800 for a non-touch screen taken out of a 2015 BMW.
The Trim Took Kit --- $29 from Bimmertech that broke versus better quality version I got off of Amazon for $8.
Make Them Whole vs Make it Right: Bimmertech makes statements like, “premium, all-inclusive service from start to finish”, so it would be logical to assume as the premium you are paying is for piece-of-mind. But you would be wrong. Rather than own up to their omissions and mistakes, Bimmertech will waste your time, hide behind their one-sided Return Policy and then play games with restocking fees and their UAE location.
Bottom Line: Do yourself a favor and avoid Bimmertech. Instead, just replace the HUD itself – doing so will result in better results and cost you less time, effort, angst and money.

I am thoroughly impressed with Bimmer-tech's Carplay device. The installation process was a breeze, and the device seamlessly integrates into my car's existing system. The functionality of all the apps, including Spotify, Google Maps, and messaging, is exceptional, adding an elevated feel to my driving experience. On top of all this, the delivery and communication from Bimmer-tech was seamless, making the entire experience effortless. I highly recommend this device to anyone looking to upgrade their driving experience!
