Your use of these API calls is entirely at your own risk. They are neither officially provided nor sanctioned.

In order to authenticate against the API you will need to be registered on BMW's Connected Drive service.
You will need:
- Your ConnectedDrive registered email address.

You can get the client_id details from either decompiling the Android App or from intercepting communications between your phone and the BMW server. This is left as an exercise for the reader ☺
