Spotify not working anymore!

Can someone offer any advice on how to make the Spotify app in the iDrive work again !!! Really bummed about this. It was working beautifully then about a week ago just nothing. I disconnected and reconnected the phone. I even re-downloaded the Spotify app and the BMW connected drive on my phone. Anybody else experience this issue?

Been having this issue too, Spotify playlist doesn't even show up or saved songs. But it's working again though! Not sure why but it is! Good luck

Mine works great for a while, and then it will just say loading app for a while. Can't quite figure it out. It doesn't always work with CarPlay either.

The last few updates have broken BMW integration for Android users. I've simply gone back to the November 7th version which works fine. I have reported the issue to Spotify. If you're on Android, just roll back to the Nov. 7th version and you'll be fine.

I've had my M5 for about a month, Spotify has worked maybe twice.

I've had the same problem here. The Spotify app seems to work sporadically and then not at all. The app will simply disappear from the menu.

One workaround that I've found is to load spotify on your phone then choose to connect directly to your phone through bluetooth from the options available. The car will connect and you'll have basic controls even thought the app isn't loaded. Very bizarre but seems to work.
