New (to me) i4, confused about my BMW app setup

Hi All,

My company has put me into their car lease scheme and I have luckily been offered a 2023 i4 e40 that is available due to the current driver retiring.

I've had a really good look but can't quite understand the best way to manage the handover (which is in a couple of weeks) of the my BMW app.

I can see two options:

1. Register myself on the car as a second user, get the current driver to make me 'primary / master' user then remove him from the car, or

2. Do a full reset of all settings and configurations via the car menu then start fresh with my BMW account by registering VIN etc.

From what I understand option 2 will completely remove him from the car and the car from his app? and does seem like the cleanest way to sort it all out.

Never had an EV or a BMW so all a bit new to me :)

Welcome, I'm sure you will be happy!

You will want to do option 2. There's no benefit to option 1, particularly with someone you have no relationship with. If I were the other driver, I would do the full reset before giving you the keys.
