What is Magenta Drive for BMW?

Magenta Drive for BMW is a postpaid plan that offers voice and 5G data connectivity in your BMW vehicle equipped with Personal eSIM capability. With access to T-Mobile’s powerful nationwide 5G network, passengers in your vehicle can work, play and stream from the road.

What is a Personal eSIM?

An eSIM, or ‘embedded SIM” is essentially a SIM card embedded in a mobile device – cell phone, tablet, smartwatch – that allows connectivity to a cellular network without a physical, removable SIM card. Personal eSIM allows a customer to add their BMW to their existing mobile phone plan, thus taking advantage of the vehicle’s 5G antenna and enabling an in-car WiFi hotspot. As many as ten devices can be connected to the vehicle’s WiFi hotspot simultaneously, providing users with high-speed internet access for mobile office work or video streaming in full HD quality.

Currently, Magenta Drive for BMW is available for Model Year 2022 and newer iX and i4 vehicles equipped with Personal eSIM capability.
