You can't

The car has something called an Intelligent Soft SIM which is actually software not hardware so unlike the SIM you have in your mobile phone, you can't just swap it out.

In theory a Soft SIM can work on any network if the network itself supports it however right now, all SIMs in all BMWs in all countries are provided by one supplier (the same applies for Audi, Jaguar LandRover, Fiat and others) and you would need to get BMW to get them to make the change (not going to happen)

As for the upgrade to 3G, this is dictated by the GSM hardware in the car and not the SIM card in use
