Not sure how to fill in target and data to be able to send to BMW
the other question what the difference between the two services
Thanks in advance!
Interested in the replies as I have tried both (quite a while ago now) and could never get it to work.

It looks like we are just interested with title and message when you are using the second service call (330e _xdrive). If you use the first one, you have to specify target as 330e_xdrive, i believe it is name of the car.
Btw, i don’t have the integration, just speculating from code.
Try checking your logs, there should be something in there about why it failed. 
Ok been trying this today:
service: notify.bmw_connected_drive_m240i
data:
message: test message 2
title: test title 2
Error:
websocket_api script: Error executing script. Unexpected error for call_service at pos 1: The My BMW API does not support sending messages without location.
Cant find any documentation on how to use either of the two notification service calls.
Edit:
Also just noticed that via the official ios app there is no function to send a message - only a location with no ability to add text or notes, just location.
As already mentioned - not supported without location. Next question is how to send with location?

Found some info for you guys. It seems that this feature have been removed because it is not supported for rest_of_world and north_america anymore. See here: https://github.com/bimmerconnected/bimmer_connected/releases/tag/0.7.19
Can i assume that you guys already read the help page before reading the code more?
ahh thanks for clarification.
