Review summary

Users praise BimmerLink for real-time sensor monitoring, fault code reading/clearing, ease of use, and value as a one-time purchase, especially when used with BimmerCode for coding. However, many point to gaps: some features (like battery registration) don't work or are perceived as overpriced; sensor data is incomplete and not model-specific (no boost pressure, HV battery temp, limited sensor details, dial limit); not all models are supported (i4 excluded); and the app can feel basic with occasional reliability issues.

Pros

Real-time monitoring of vehicle sensors and faults
Reads and clears fault codes; shows component-level faults
Easy to use and reliable across Bluetooth/devices
One-time purchase with good value; can pay for itself
Strong companion to BimmerCode for monitoring and coding

Cons

Battery registration often doesn’t work or feels overpriced
Missing or model-specific sensor data (no boost pressure on some cars, no HV battery temperature, limited sensor details; dial limit)
Not compatible with all BMW models (e.g., BMW i4 not supported)
Very basic/limited functionality; feels more like a basic reader than a full scanner
Occasional reliability issues with certain features or data (e.g., brake/Parking brake readings; codes reappear)

Works good.
2026-08-17	Lu*****	I mean it works, sorta...it doesn't give you the correct boost readings. when at idle, it should read zero, when normal driving it goes into the positive and when boosting it's supposed to go in the negative. this doesn't do that. it reads 0.00 when boosting and 15psi when normal driving. hell it reads 8psi at idle! I paid over $100 for this whole setup and it's not even accurate. you can't sell a faulty product like this. fix this app and push an update before a class action lawsuit falls.

2026-08-16	Ch*****	would possibly rate it higher but the actual gear indicator doesn't appear to go above 6. I don't think the gear indicator should have any decimal places as I have never seen fractions of a gear. And then it said my engine oil temp was 72000 degrees F! battery voltage showed 14,960mv. It would be nice to have the app read the phones regional settings as I do not live in Europe or use the metric system. The app is set to use imperial units.

2026-08-07	Ke*****	This app works well for basic fault code reading and sensor values. Be aware that it's useless unless you pay the 34.99. The app shouldn't really have a free listing on the store since it's primary use case is paywalled. It would be much more honest to list the app as paid upfront. It's sister app (bimmercode) also requires an expensive separate payment to be useful. Combined with the cost of the Bluetooth obd reader, it's less attractive than some dedicated scan tools these days.
