Ratings and reviews

App seems a bit difficult... won't let me dowoad my manual (which i would assume would be the easiest and first hurdle), it's based on my VIN, and hangs during every attempt to download... and of course, no option to download a generic version for my specific model... I was hoping to browse through a few features in the manual over a coffee to better understand how to get the most out of them, and cannot get past first step, so I'm not overly excited to dig into much more of the app right now...

Too damn complicated and not at all intuitive!

So far it's been easy enough to find whatever I've tried to find. I also like how it's specific to my vehicle. I previously had an X3 x30i and now I have an X3 M40i. The two vehicles have different standard features and options. The drivers guides for each had slightly different information to account for this.
