Unfortunately for 7-Series-buying soccer geeks, but fortunately for anyone coming the other way, the Bundesliga in-car app will only be available to watch while the vehicle is stationary. Related: BMW Partners With AirConsole To Bring In-Car Gaming From 2023 BMW hasn’t said whether games would also be viewable on the huge, optional 31-in rear-compartment Theater Screen, a piece of kit that’s crying out for this kind of feature. To do that the car’s owner has to activate the Personal eSIM in the 7-Series allowing the car’s in-built antennae to stream 5G video to the 14.9-in curved infotainment screen on the dashboard. The content is specially tailored for use in the car and focuses on game highlights and match data, but some action will be streamed live.

BMW also hints that the tech will make its way onto new models in the future, so we can probably expect to see it on cars like the 2024 BMW 5-Series that makes its debut later this year. The pilot scheme runs until March 2024 and is initially only available in Germany, though countries in Europe, America, and Asia will be offered the Bundesliga in-car App in the coming months, where we’d imagine interest will be microscopic. This is why BMW has teamed up with DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga to bring some of the action from Germany’s premier soccer division to the new 7-Series.
