We are both in the same situation, so perhaps the following response from BMW this morning will help:
We appreciate you getting in touch with BMW UK ConnectedDrive to inquire about renewing your Online Entertainment subscription.
I am answering your question in place of my colleague who is not here. I apologize that you are having trouble renewing your Online Entertainment membership.
Because there is already an active membership, there is no opportunity to activate your own. You must wait for that subscription to expire. The option will show up in your vehicle’s CD/Multimedia tab once the subscription has expired.
I sincerely hope that this information has been useful, and please don’t hesitate to get in contact if you require any additional support.

Last month, I signed up for 30 days of PS1 online entertainment, which worked perfectly with Deezer.
Deezer performed admirably on a PC, allowing users to share playlists and listen to music both from their PC and their automobile.
The service was about to expire when the car flashed up a warning about it, so I went online from my computer to the BMW linked website and renewed the service while paying the annual price. Although I received emails confirming this, the service is not active for this vehicle, according to my account.
As the service is active, the ‘Renew service’ button on the connected-drive website is grayed out.
My attempts to access the attached drive shop from idrive in the car fail since I don’t have any codes to enter. Please try once more later. which has continued throughout the past day.

It provides direct access to service facilities, significantly improves plug-in hybrid and all-electric model functions (displays electric range, charging status, tracking of charging history, programming of charging in a time slot, etc.), and provides more practical use of maps and navigation (e.g. convenient vehicle location, sending routes from the app to BMW Maps).

Does the BMW include Spotify?
Hello!! I was told that ever since the most recent update, Spotify ought to no longer function with BMW. I took notice because the Spotify icon suddenly vanished from Connecties Drive, which is, quote, a sad thing. Can anyone vouch for the veracity of this? Are there ways to restore earlier Spotify features so that it can function once more?
It’s not really an option for me to stream music one at a time while driving and using my phone as a remote.
We appreciate all of the reports you have provided. We’ve combined them all into one place and have news to share with you about the situation.
BMW Connected Drive has been depreciated, according to information we received. As a result, using the onboard BMW system to operate Spotify will no longer be an option. However, you can continue to enjoy your favorite songs by Bluetooth-connecting to the audio system in your car.
Additionally, we have designated this idea for resuming integration as available for vote. Make sure to cast your vote and support the concept if this is something you’d like to see come back in the future. As soon as we have news to share, we’ll post it there and keep you updated while keeping an eye on it so the appropriate team gets the comments.
We’re going to stop accepting answers to this thread so that we have one location to collect feedback.
I’ve had a problem with my 2019 BMW F20’s iDrive since yesterday. The Spotify App is no longer shown in the media list when I use Bluetooth to connect my smartphone (a Samsung Galaxy A50).
I attempted to link my girlfriend’s iPhone today, and the iDrive program appears to function fairly well.
I’ve tried to remove the BMW ConnectedDrive and Spotify apps, as well as their data and cache. It also doesn’t seem to make a difference when I disconnect the Bluetooth connection between my smartphone and the automobile.
With my Samsung S20, I have the exact same problem. Spotify is still accessible on my iPhone. The most recent version, 8.5.68.904, appears to be the root of the problem.
same over here, using the most recent version of Spotify on a Pixel 4 with a brand-new Mini Clubman. There is no way to reload the program, link the device again, or remove it from the micro mm system. Although I haven’t tried it via USB, Bluetooth is quite helpful.
Same issue on my 2017 1 series, which was working just well at the time. I can’t find any release notes describing the changes made to Spotify. Every edition of Spotify seems to remove more features.
