go back to the dealer and make sure they enabled the connected drive services (this is a dealer enabled option that your car should have come with, but has to be enabled by the dealer).

Is your car Navigation equipped? You have to have NAV, but any car equiped with it from 2014 on should be able to connect. All you need is a subscription and that should have come with your car and Navigation.

Maybe connected drive services are not offered in the palestine? There seems to be a part of the discussion with your dealer you are leaving out.

What EXACTLY did you buy (exact BMW model)? Was it new or used? Salvage title? There are a lot of pieces missing here that you are not talking about...

Assuming your VIN number is A053873 - as you've given above - then it looks as if your car does not have Nav.

This is from the link I posted.

Vehicle Requirements: The new BMW Connected app is compatible with Model Year 2014 and newer Navigation-equipped vehicles, except 2014 X6. An active BMW AssistTM/ConnectedDrive subscription is required. Not all features and functions will be available in every vehicle. For customers with vehicles without BMW Assist/ConnectedDrive capabilities, it is still possible to create an account via the app to log into BMW Connected and use the Journey Management, such as estimated travel time, learned destinations, and more, outside the vehicle.

I can only assume that, due to various security issues, cars sold in that area of the world are not equipped with navigation systems. Cars could be targeted, GPS systems removed from cars and used in other ways, etc.

Your F30 318i does not have any of the hardware required for ConnectedDrive just because ConnectedDrive is only available in Dubai and Kuwait according to BMW. Your dealer should have told you that.
