Anyone else been having an issue with it the past couple days? Asks me to enable remote services, then says unable to connect.

Haven't used it in a while. Tried just now and worked fine. Site is completely revamped; maybe that was the reason for the downtime.

Never had much luck with it.
For my x3, always tells me need to enable remote services, which I have.
For my 335 works fine.

Wait - are we talking about the iRemote app or the ConnectedDrive website. If it's the former, be sure you're entering your VIN correctly. Otherwise, you may be remote-controlling someone else's i8.

The BMW Connected app. When I click the picture of the car where you normally are able to pre condition it, lock it etc, it says I need to enable remote functions. I click enable and it says unable to process request. It worked the first couple days I had the car then stopped.

The BMW Connected app - at least for me - is only for enabling the the ConnectedDrive capabilities in the car when the phone is connected. I start it before I clip my phone into the snap adapter, so I can control my music from the iDrive system, listen to Spotify or Audible, etc. This is the one with a brown icon that says "BMW" on it.

The i Remote app (big "i" logo in the icon) is the one I use for remotely monitoring and controlling the car. It has a little remote control button on the bottom left of the main screen. Try that one, maybe.
