BMW.SG | BMW Singapore Owners Community The Ultimate BMW Community – Established Since 2001
BMW iX drivers – along with owners of a raft of other recent BMWs and MINIs – can now see their full life?cycle CO2 footprint directly inside the My BMW App, a first for the brand and a powerful nudge towards cleaner driving habits. The latest software roll-out lets users track how much carbon their car created in production and how much it emits (or would emit, in the case of BEVs using greener electricity) out on the road, wrapping hard data into the already popular My Trips section.
The calculation blends two streams of information. First, the app totals the emissions generated while you drive, using fuel burn for combustion cars and the national grid mix for battery-electric models, with a comparison showing what the figure would look like on green energy. Second, it adds the CO2 recorded during manufacturing – from raw material processing through logistics to final assembly – taken from TÜV Rheinland?certified Vehicle Footprint Reports that BMW already publishes to recognised LCA standards.
For anyone still running a combustion BMW but curious about switching, the built-in Electric Vehicle Analysis goes further. After at least 200 trips and 2,000 km of logged driving, it simulates how a chosen electric BMW would have handled your routine, highlights which journeys fit comfortably within a single charge, and even pins charging points near your regular destinations. By May 2025, more than 100,000 customers had used this tool, reflecting a growing appetite for data-backed electrification decisions.
Adoption of the wider app ecosystem is massive: over 14 million customers use the My BMW and MINI Apps worldwide, with My Trips active in more than 90 countries and 1.9 million users engaging with it. The new footprint feature launches first in Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg and Switzerland for models including (but not limited to) the BMW 1 Series, 2 Series, X2, X3, 5 Series, 5 Series Touring, M5, iX and the latest MINI Cooper, Cooper C, Aceman and Countryman, provided a TÜV?certified footprint exists for the car.
By placing transparent, standardised lifecycle numbers in owners’ hands – whether they drive an iX, a plug?in hybrid or a straight-six petrol – BMW turns the smartphone into a subtle efficiency coach. Less guesswork, more evidence, and clearer choices about how to cut carbon on the daily commute or the long haul.
