Same here, been working fine for 18months, same car, same phone now nothing 🤬🤬

Same problem! The Spotify option in my BMW has disappeared, after an update of the Spotify app.

Same in my F36 2017. Until freut days ago worked perfectly, now after the update to 8.7.28 not shown more in Apps. Only normal Bluetooth possible. 😏

Spotify was working perfectly on my 2019 120iM until a few days ago, now the app doesn't show up on iDrive.  A look on threads reveals this is a commonplace issue with Spotify going back years.  Surely updates are meant to improve things not make them worse and merely frustrate those of us paying for Premium every month!

I have the same issue too, I’ve reinstalled the app and cleared the caches but still no luck, even reconnected my phone onto the iDrive like 3 times. Spotify need to sort this bug out!

...have to wonder why if its just BMWs.....I'm guessing we'd have heard if it was more widespread

[Harry0021]

Same problem. My connected drive subscription is up to date but the Spotify app doesn’t show up anymore. Please bring it back!

Same here, not working

[Sdore]

Same with me. Which are the Spotify alternatives  that are working with BMW? Amazon? Deezer?
