Hi all, I need to renew my Connected Drive package but I only use myBMW app to double check the car is where and how I left it so the most basic package is enough. Now, I wonder what package other Alpina owners have and what services they use most.

I use the Real Time Traffic, and have paid to keep that updated. The basic Connected Drive functions don't need a subscription at the moment. The transition to "My BMW" is rather clunky. I have never managed to get an image of a car that looks like my Alpina! Mine is an F31 B3s touring. The \pp image, based on the BMW VIN, is a G30 saloon! Everything else works fine though, and it's really only a gimmick, but it would be nice if the gimmick showed the correct type of car body.
F31 B3S Touring - No. 183

Before that: E92 D3 Biturbo No.111, and before that, E39 B10 3.3 No 056

I did not renew the service package and I can still see location and fuel through MyBMW so I am happy.

In my case, the app shows the BMW base model... But it'd be nice to see the Alpina model.
