Since the introduction of BMW ConnectedDrive in 2011, BMW owners without telematics were able to use BMW connecteddrive via bluetooth tethering. In fact BMW Live is a limited version of BMW Online which is still available for BMW's with telematics and an active ConnectedDrive subscription.
BMW Owners who fully depend on BMW Live, because their BMW has no telematics, have come to a situation that their BMW can't use any BMW ConnectedDrive services anymore. BMW Live was ended silently by BMW in April 2020, eight years after its introduction.
