Magic Mirror Module to display data from BMW Connected drive for your car.
The module displays icons to show lock, fuel, door, windows and sunroof status, range, and total kms driven. It also shows the time the Connected Drive API last received data from the car.

Go to the MagicMirror/config directory and edit the config.js file. Add the module to your modules array in your config.js.

If possible the module will pull an image of your car from BMW's API. I only have one BMW, so can't test the placement/graphics of other vehicles. I'd love to see what it looks like if you try it.
Contact me and i will try to help as best as i can. PLease note that i'm not the original developer of this module. I have just forked it and made a few changes.
I have not tested for other regions except for REST_OF_WORLD, if you can, please test and let me know.
Hat tip to Howard Durdle for the original code.
