Remote services is good for 10 years after the car is put in service, so yes you can use the BMW Connected app. You could call BMW assist and have them add your car to your account manually (you'll have to provide proof of ownership), but if you're not getting the message with the verification code something isn't working correctly and you'll probably have issues using the app even if BMW gets your car paired with your account.

Can you successfully call BMW Assist from ConnectedDrive in the iDrive or use the SOS button (just tell them you're testing the system if the call succeeds)? If those work your combox is working.

Try resetting the iDrive by turning the car on and pressing in and holding the volume knob for several seconds until the screen turns off. Turn the car off and lock it. Come back 20 mins later and see if the verification code messages arrived.

If that doesn't work pull fuse 120 located in the trunk fuse box (there should be a paper diagram attached to the box), wait a few minutes, and reinstall the fuse. This is what fixed my similar issue with the app not working.
