If you are looking for a way to track the car while it is moving you will need something other than BMW connected. Moreover, while the app can wake the car and can locate where it was last stopped, it can only do so where is a decent cell signal. I have a house that in a dead areas as far as cell signals go and if I drive into my garage and lock the car, the BMW app will show the last location where it was parked before the home location. I think based on what I have seem "stopped" for purposes of the app means the engine has been turned off for at a few minutes.
