But ‘MPG’ makes no sense for a quantity of fuel 
I changed it in customize.yaml:
sensor.340i_remaining_fuel:
unit_of_measurement: litres
but feels like the component is wrong to me?
Yes, mpg for volume is weird. In my versions (64.2 and current dev branch) I always get liters for the remaining_fuel. I could not find any place in the code that might cause this. Weird…
Well that IS odd 
what would those messages look like? how can i know what to lool for?
it’s kinda strange. with the bmw component included in HA 0.65 upwards i don’t get any data at all:
with gerard33’s custom_component i get data, but repeating error messages like the one above.
These are shown in the App under Check Control Messages (or something like that).
For me this shows Tyre pressure = OK and Motor oil = OK.
That’s strange 
Can you check this GitHub - bimmerconnected/bimmer_connected: 🚘 Library to query the status of your BMW or Mini from the ConnectedDrive portal and share the output of the fingerprint function? In this version some changes have been inplemented to make the component work in North-America and China, maybe that version works better for you car as well.
ok. sorry, can’t see those messages in my app 
i will upload my fingerprint data to the github. thanks
Same here!
Using 0.65 and 0.66b: No data!
Regards.
Someone?

Here are some updates on the status of the BMW component.
In HA 0.66 the following items are added
- Binary sensors for
Doors,WindowsandDoor lock state - Lock
Support for North-America
This PR brings support to users from USA and Canada. The bimmer_connected library has moved to a different API on the BMW servers for this.
It’s a breaking change where you have to change the country in the config to a region.
This will be part of HA 0.67.
Device tracker
This PR fixes the toggling state if vehicle tracking is disabled. This will be part of HA 0.67.
Other
Currently additional items are being added like info on the condition based services, check_control_messages and parking lights.
Also items for electric cars will be added soon.
Custom component
I have also added the heading to the device tracker, so you can show your car on the map including the right direction .
In order to make this work I have made pictures for every 30 degrees.
I only need to find a free website where I can store these pictures so they are available with a direct link like https://web.site.com/bmw_30.png. So Google Drive and free pictures sites wont work for that as they do not provide a link with the exact filename in it, which is needed to select to picture with the right heading.
If there are any ideas just let me know.
All the above mentioned stuff (except eletric car stuff) is available with the latest custom component which can be found here.
This version contains a breaking change as the naming of the entity_ids and some attributes has changed (so it’s the same as in the version on HA). So if you use any automations please check these.
I try it 
Regards.
Seems… some problems from Europe 
Works fine before 0.65. After that many problems. I try to use custom_component:

“error” : {
“code” : 500,
“description” : “(SmartPhoneUtil-A-101) Mandatory parameter(s) missed or blank: dlat and dlon are required for BMW vehicles!”

@ezar Can you check this https://github.com/m1n3rva/bimmer_connected#data-contributions and share the output of the fingerprint function?
I changed VIN to XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I do not know if it will be useful

UPDATE:
I try adding /status?dlat=xxx&dlon=yyy and works fine. It generate status_0.txt and vehicles_0.txt files.
Can you share these files?
And it looks like adding the lat + lon makes it possible to get the newest data for specific cars which otherwise give errors.
@m1n3rva let’s see what we can do with that.
I heard of some vehicles where you only get the position of the vehicle if you’re close to the vehicle. In these cases you have to provide your GPS position and you only get the response in case your position is within 2km of the position of the vehicle. Some sort of privacy thing.
Looking at the vehicle data, I saw the attribute "vehicleFinderRestriction" : "NONE" for all examples we have collected so far:
@ezar:
Can you check if for your car, the vehicleFinderRestriction is something other then None?
@m1n3rva This TAG doesn’t appears
Seems that using previous version I can access to more information that using last
Why?
Regards.
How did you get the picture of the car to appear as the icon? (the picture next to “BMW X1”)
Maybe to host the pictures of the car we could use GitHub? Upload them to a repo that never changes and just use something like raw.githubusercontent.com/gerard33/repo-name/pictures/numberofdegrees
I have downloaded the picture of my car via the link mentioned here.
Then I added it in known_devices.yaml with picture: /local/bmw.png
Thanks. I have made a repo for this and tested it. Doesn’t seem to work correctly with raw.githubusercontent.com. Found this https://raw.githack.com/ so will test with that (currently ConnectedDrive is not available).
If you want to test it as well you can add the config below and change x1_sdrive18i to your model.
camera:
- platform: generic
name: BMW X1
still_image_url: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center={{ states.device_tracker.x1_sdrive18i.attributes.latitude }},{{ states.device_tracker.x1_sdrive18i.attributes.longitude }}&zoom=13&size=500x500&maptype=roadmap&markers=icon:https://rawcdn.githack.com/gerard33/bmw-pictures/master/pictures/bmw-{{ states.device_tracker.x1_sdrive18i.attributes.heading_rounded }}.png%7C{{ states.device_tracker.x1_sdrive18i.attributes.latitude }},{{ states.device_tracker.x1_sdrive18i.attributes.longitude }}

Maybe we can download the picture automatically with the device_tracker component in the future?
I tried your camera config and it worked perfectly!
