The dealer told us that the car has a T-Mobile SIM card and that it uses this to communicate. However, when trying to perform a bluetooth system update via teleservices it wouldn’t work unless there was a phone attached. (and that wouldn’t work as there wasn’t 3G signal!)
So, is the BMW using the phone’s data connection the entire time? The thing is, my dad has an o2 phone and 3G signal is useless around here, whereas T-Mobile 3G signal is great. Just be interested to hear how it all works.

I believe when using the apps such as connected drive or my favourite the web radio it uses your phone for data as its all driven by the phone itself. You can use the same apps any time on the phone without the car.
When browsing the Internet in the car it seems to use its own 3G SIM card as I can do that without a phone connected.
